Low Risk: The hits you describe are rather violent, but the force generated by hitting one's own head is not dramatic. She likely has a headache because she jarred her head and may have gotten a concussion. Long-term damage is unlikely but not zero. If it persists longer than a week, have her evaluated by her family physician.
