Can I Let My Daughter Sleep After A Head Injury?

My daughter was just playing outside when her friend went to hug her and they fell backwards and she hit the back of her head on the pavement. She cried for about thirty seconds and then started playing again. She has laughed, walked around and played since she fell. It is her nap time and she is tired can I let her fall asleep?

Hello,
Thank you for the query.
As she is behaving normally and if there is no visible swelling on the head and no any injury marks , there appear no major problem. So need to worry. yes you can let her sleep.
Hope this helps.
Thank you ..
