Should I Be Worried Of Bruising And Tenderness Caused By Trauma?

My 8 year old fell down three stairs a few nights ago and drug her back along the stairs, resulting in a scrape and some bruising. The scrape and bruising are gone, but she has tenderness in the area when touched and a knot under the skin. Should I be concerned, or is it just inflammation to the surrounding tissue caused by the trauma of the fall? She is not in constant pain and her range of motion is fine and painless.
