Nothing to be done unless she has sensitivity. If needed she can get a small x-ray of that tooth region a week later

You should go to a pediatric dentist and get the tooth assessed. Sometimes it's not only a small chip, it could be traumatized from within the jaw as well and in that case it may need to be followed up to ensure the developing permanent tooth is not being affected negatively.
