Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
When she is going to school since one week in spite of injury, probably it is not fracture.
Swollen bump may be a hematoma.
She needs antibiotic as well as anti inflammatory drugs with your doctors advice.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
