How To Cure Swelling On The Knee After Falling Down?

I have a two year old daughter. She was climbing up into a chair today and she fell out. I noticed she had bumped her head and busted her lip. I then noticed a few minutes later that she had a red mark on her leg after she had fallen. The mark is near her knee and very red and the bump is raised and a little warm to the touch. What should I do to reduce the swelling or should I take her to the doctor?
