HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
After trauma, the pain can increase till it reaches a peak at day 2 to 3, then there it stabilizes and eventually starts to decrease. The swelling would also increase slowly till it reaches a peak then decrease.
Pain due to soft tissue injury can potentially last a few weeks, in some cases two though some persons may have lingering pain for a lot longer.
She should apply a cold compress to the area and also use anti inflammatory pain killers to help (eg ibuprofen, naproxen, cataflam)
I hope this helps
