Will my dorsal hump go away?

seven.27
Hi, I’ve recently bumped my nose which caused the development of a dorsal hump and I’m very worried it will not go away. It was a very minor injury I bumped my nose with my iPad and it only hurt for a few seconds however I touched where I had bumped my nose and felt a hard lump, I began to worry so I checked the mirror and saw a bit of redness. It’s been a few days and the swelling has gone down a lot but the bump is still there and my nose doesn’t look the same, is this permanent?
