Hi, As per the given description,your daughter might have sustained on of the following :
- soft tissue hematoma
- a fracture of the small bones of the hand (carpals,metacarpals or phalanges)
It always advisable to wrap the site with ice and keep the part elevated as it will alleviate the pain as well as swelling. Nothing to panic. Take an orthosurgeons consultation
