Bloody mucus after busted nose?

So here's what happened, a few days ago I slipped in the shower and slammed my nose into the toilet tank next to my shower. It bled everywhere and swelled up a little bit. Luckily I didn't have any bruising and my nose doesn't look crooked.

The initial heavy bleeding stopped after I stood up from the shower, but had bloody mucus throughout the rest of my day, which I suspected was normal. 2 days later and I'm still seeing a little bit of red in my mucus when I sneeze and/or blow my nose. Is this normal? Should I visit the doctor just to be sure? Am I being paranoid?
