Brief Answer: relax. Detailed Answer: Hi. Thanks for your query. I understand your concern. Relax,there is nothing to worry. Apply ice over site of impact. Give acetaminophen 15mg/kg body weight for pain relief. Watch for warning features for 24hours like : Lethargy/any abnormal movement/persistant vomiting/bleeding from ear or nose. In case you observe any take her to ER. Hope I have answered your query. Wishing your baby good health. God bless..
