Should I Be Worried About A Goose Bump In Forehead Of An Infant Caused Due To Falling?

My daughter is 19 mo and hit her forehead on the coffee table falling off the couch. She cried and is alert ate dinner is goofing off and is otherwise fine. It has been more than an hour and she seems ok, normal toddler except for a Goose egg on her forehead that rose pretty quickly and is a little indented in the middle. Everything else she is doing is normal it's just the bump and that it is indented is why I'm worried.

Hi, welcome to the Health care magic forum.
When ever some one have an injury, with moderate impact, they will have a hard bump, due to the reaction of the tissues there to the impact.
There could be a possibility of the infection, if not treated in time. Usually healed by its own with out treatment, but if infected it will take more time for healing.
I advise you to consult a pediatretian for diagnosis. If necesory a C.T.scan may be required to exclude the head injury.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
