My daughter got kicked in the nose a couple years ago at a play date when she was 7, leaving a bump. Will it need to be removed?

She cried, but there was no blood or swelling. Months later a dorsal hump had formed. I Read that it probably would go away, but 2 years later it hasn't. Should she see an ENT now so they can look and see what happened? Or wait until she's older if she wants it fixed? I'm hoping that she will just grow into the bump and it will look fine, but to me, it seems to be getting more noticeable. Thanks for your response!
