Hi there! Thank you for contacting us. This is most likely a concussion. Even though she hit her chest on the edge of a platform, she most likely hit her head, kind of like a whiplash action. Keep a close eye on her and if she becomes confused or changes her words around, take her to the emergency room. Other than that, she should be fine after about 7-10 days.
