How To Treat The Bruise On My 16 Month's Old Cheek?

Hello i have a quick question. My 16 month old hit herself in the cheek on Monday night. An hr later the bruise began to show. Now its black and red and has a huge bump. It's also a bit black on the inside. It seems like it's getting bigger and darker. Should we take her to the ER?
