Keep watch: At 19 months, you should be able to tell if there is any change in her behavior. Any signs of irritability, nausea/vomiting, sleepiness or changes in gait/vision/hearing would be red flags indicating that you would need to get her to the hospital.

No...: If there was no loss of consciousness and she is acting fine, you just observe her. If you take her in, she would very likely be subjected to unnecessary CT scan of head, exposing her young and developing brain to all sorts of radiation. If she starts vomiting more than twice, begins walking unusual/unsteady from her usual, or if crying inconsolably, then take her in. Just monitor for now.
