It sounds like a hematoma in the muscle tissue from too many injections. It is not an uncommon possibility of third molar ext. Just keep her on Anti-inflamatories, suggest moist heat massages from outside, and hot/warm saltwater compress of the area from inside the mouth.. it will take a week or so but it will resolve.
