Suggest Remedies For A Bump And Red Mark On The Scalp Of Baby After An Injury

My 6 month old daughter fell off the bed and hit the top and back of her head on the edges of a shelf. There is a slightly raised red bump in the back and a scape like red mark on top of her head. She cried for about 20 minutes and then acted normally laughing and crawling. We observed her for a while and then she went to sleep because it was her regular nap time. She is sleeping now but I wonder, should we take her to the ER?
