try cold compresses (an ice pack or a cold, wet cloth), and maybe an anti-histamine, like Claritin or Benedryl.
If that doesn't help reduce the swelling and pain somehwat, she should probably see a doctor. she could have some kind of infection and need antibiotics... until she knows for sure, wash hands constantly with antibacterial soap and don't rub at the eyes!

Any time an eye hurts and is swollen or red, you should go to your eye doctor immediately. Her eye needs to be examined to determie the cause of the swelling.

See the doctor - she could have something imbedded in it, or an infection. Ice pack will help with pain until she gets treatment.

Go to the doctor. If it's infected and she waits it might get worse.
