Welcome to HCM, I have gone through you query and understood your concerns, Most broken noses heal naturally in 2-3 weeks and they can often be managed at home specially if the skin and septum (wall between the nostrils) are still intact, the swelling should go down within 1 week, and the bruising should disappear after 2 weeks, if her nose looks deformed don't attempt to straighten it yourself instead a doctor should be consulted.

Please kindly rate if my advise has been helpful
Wishing you a good health
