HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, she should go and have it assessed.
Based on your description, she seems to have developed a small abscess.
Treatment of an abscess normally involves incision in office to allow the pus to drain along with a course of antibiotics.
The doctor may also recommend cleaning with a topical anti septic as well.
I hope this helps
