Broken nose in 6yr old DD

Please can someone let me know what expect over the next few days with my DD who has broken her nose by falling off the top of the climbing frame in the school playground. How bad will the bruising be? Will she get black eyes? What happens if it needs straightening? It is too swollen at the moment to be able to confirm if it is still straight or not. We have an ENT appt at the start of next week as apparently we have to wait for the swelling to go down.

I have to go and do bath & bedtime now but will be back later.

TIA

My 5 year old recently fell flat on his nose on the school steps, - so much blood ... took him straight to A & E as I was convinced he had "broke it" . . .was told this wouldn't happen as at that age it is cartiledge , thank goodness. Had a bit of bloodiness for a couple of days and very slight bruising - I was expecting a lot worse.
Main thing to look out for is clotting blocking the air / nose ways - surprised that your DD's is broken (as above) my son is 6 in September.
P.s he didn't get black eyes.
