Should Bruising In A Toddler After A Fall Be Checked Ideally?

My 1 yr old feel against her door frame and she is just starting to walk.... there is a light bruising in a line where she hit and she will put pressure on it by laying on it... should i still have it checked out or wait until morning and call her doctor.

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

There is no cause of concern. The swelling should subside.
Local application of Ice and analgesic like ibuprofen may be helpful.

Take care

Best Regards
