Poor Zala! You could bath her paw with cold (not icy!) water or apply cold packs on the affected paw but if it gets really swollen I would have her checked by your veterinarian as she might need and anti-inflammatory injection. In addition, avoid any licking. Please post again on the forum or request a consultation if you would like to discuss it any further.
