Likely mild sprain: Since she is moving her wrist well without swelling etc..Likely she only sustained minor sprain. If she has some pain, motrin/advil/aleve for a few days will likely suffice. If symptoms worsen, then consult doc...Good luck.

Sprain: It's sounds like it may just be a sprain. She can try a wrist support from the drugstore. If it does not improve get it checked.
