Hello.
Thanks for posting your query.
You can wait till morning if the cast is not badly broken due to wetting and is stable.
Till morning give her coplete rest and not allowed her to put weight on that side. She can take analgesic drug as advised by her doctor for pain.
Wishing you good health
Regards.
