Suggest Treatment For Bruising And Swelling On The Toes After Injury

My daughter dropped an ipad on her big toe, causing bruising and a swollen lump. Two days later she now has bruising that is on the side of her foot, and there have been no further injuries to that foot. She says it also hurts to walk on it. Should I take her to a doctor, or is this normal?
