Hello,
Probably she may developed sub ungual hematoma. So don't worry it may take time to recover.
Use painkillers like diclofenac or aceclofenac twice a day for five days. Use cold and warm compression. If you observe any pus or bleeding out means consult with your surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
