How To Treat A Growing Lump On The Leg Caused Due To An Injury?

My 8 mo old German shepherd puppy ran straight on into my 38 y/o daughters leg; she says a lump is now growing and it is tender. She states she also has shooting pains from it. I suggested ice. Shall we alternate ice and heat? What can we do to relieve the pain and reduce swelling? Thank you

i think it's either abscess or infected haematoma which need to be drained by an incision alongwith antibiotics and pain killers . you need to go urgently to a surgeon
