Cheekbone Red And Puffy After A Hit And Head Throbbing

My 12 year old slipped on some ice and hit her cheek bone on the driveway. It is red and a little puffy. Her pupils are normal and reactive and no vision problems. Just complaining of her head hurting/throbbing. I gave her an advil. Is there anything else I should be doing?
