Yes: When something hits a small child on the head or when she falls on her head from a distance of less than 5 feet, cries right away, the chances of any internal brain injury are very very small, as shown by a study at the er of a boston hospital some years ago. So you can be reassured and go on loving her.

Yes: If there was no loss of consciousness and acting normal with no symptoms i would just watch. This is minor injury.
