hi.

based from your description, the lump could be secondary to the trauma she recently had. it could only be an inflammatory reaction, wherein swelling ensues and will subside eventually in a few days time. fibrous tissue formation may also be occurring especially on the area that was injured, hence the appearance of the bump. a consult with her doctor is best for clinical evaluation. observation and analgesics may be given for now. if the signs and symptoms persist for more than a week, diagnostics (such as xray) and management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
