Hi, It is quite normal to get a bump after a fall. What you say is called hematoma due to collection of blood under the skin due to the fall. If this is not too big and if she do not have any other symptoms like dizziness, black eyes or pain.. no need to worry. The swelling slowly disappears in few days.
Hope this might help!
