My 7 yr old daughter's earring holes are too large. What to do?

Lautrec
I removed my 7 yr old daughter's earrings tonight and noticed the holes look really large. She was pierced about 1.5 yrs ago. In that time, we've only changed here earrings about 3 or 4 times. The piercings don't look infected or red. But the large holes have me worried. I left her piercings open tonight. Will these shrink over time? Should I leave her ears open and let them try to close up? I don't want to make them worse.
