Hello dear user!
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns!
Thank you for sharing them on healthcaremagic.
It is expected to be a swelling after the injury she had. Local edema is a normal reaction of the body against hitting. If the swelling is not too big and it does't cause problems to the girl, you don't have to be worried. The girl is active, no other symptoms, and i guess she feeds normally. Just keep watching it for any other changing. You can just use cold compresses to remove the swelling. No other medications are needed.
I hope this answer was helpful to you!
