Suggest Remedy For Swelling & Bruises In Shin & Leg

My daughter got hit hard in the shin by a softball in a game 4 days ago. She has a swollen lower leg and bruise where she got hit. The area is hard and warm to the touch. She wants to wait and go to the doctor tomorrow. She is keeping her leg elevated and has an ice pack on it after she gets home from work. What do you think about waiting to see a doctor?
