Suggest Treatment For Bruising And A Bit Of Pain After An Ankle Injury

My mother is on plavix. Today she bumped her ankle on the foot pedal of a wheelchair and bruised quickly. Now she has a 25 cent size black and blue with very slight surrounding bruising and a bit of pain at site when walking. We iced it she can walk but should we worry. It has not gotten worse and she feels it is a bit better
