Keep monitoring her

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Infants tend to get injured often at this age group.
If she is otherwise active and feeding well I do hope that there is less chance of intracranial injury.
However I SUGGEST you to take her to er to get her examined completely.
Keep a close watch for these warning signs
1. Excess crying
2. Bleeding from ear or nose
3. Excess sleepiness.
4. Fainting, poor feeding.
Wishing your daughter speedy recovery.
Regards
Dr Arun
