Hello dear,
I understand your concerns.Your granddaughter seems to have got a mild head injury.I do not recommend at present to go for computerised tomographic (CT) scan as it is not indicated in head injuries which are not associated with loss of consciousnes.She can be given some non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAID) which have analgesic property as well,which will provide her relief and observe for a couple of days.Still,if no improvement occurs,you can consult your physician and go for a CT scan if he says so.I hope it helps.
