Thanks for posting your query.
It might be a soft tissue injury or fracture at the base of thumb. Swelling appeared around this could be due to the collection of blood from ruptured microvasculature.
Without X-ray, it is difficult to differentiate a fracture from others. I suggest her to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. She may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.
In the interim, Beside icing and elevating it, she can take anti-inflammatory drug like motoring to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid lifting weight and rest well.
Hope I was able to address your concern. Let me know if you need any more help.

Wishing you good health....
