Hello,
I just read through your question.There is no need for concern. Once 24 hours passed without incident, she became neurologically cleared. you do not have to be concerned about any neurologic injury.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Eric Goldstein

Dear parent, I understand your concerns. you should moniter your baby for the next 24 hours after the fall. if she vomited or fainted or became drowsy in the following 24 hours after the fall then you should get a Ct scan on the brain. if she didn't experience any of that then no need to any medical follow up
