She needs to go to the emergency room urgently for evaluation. She could have a deep tissue infection of her toe which could potentially spread into her bone (if it has not already done so).

The emergency room physician will order radiological tests that will help evaluate and diagnose her condition and this will determine her treatment, surgical or otherwise.
