Keep an eye out : It most likely a soft tissue injury, ice and cool compresses to the area. If you notice the bump getting larger, or feel any bone abnormality underneath or any change in behavior, tired, acting strangely, or just "doesn't seem right", that warrants a visit to the er.

Fall: As long as she didn't lose consciousness and she is acting normally, i wouldn't worry. Anything out of the ordinary, i would go to the emergency room.

Probably not, but: Watch her for unusual signs. Call her pediatrician if anything is still worrisome for an appointment - avoid er unless there is an emergency. Best!

Sounds like a bump: Kids r always falling and bumping their heads & it is of no s consequence. Sounds like no loc. Just observe thru day & nite looking 4 unusual sleepiness, or drowsiness. Should b ok. For peace of mind call ur pedi and get directions rom him/her.
