Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
She is going through a post trauma pain.I will suggest she rests, continue ice pack placement.You may add a pain/anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen and observe.If the pain persist and if any swelling, you may do an X-ray to exclude a fracture.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
