HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Because it would be difficult at that age to determine if there are any symptoms of head trauma, it would be best to take her to be assessed by her doctor.
At this age fractures can occur with minor trauma and brain injuries can sometimes occur with no symptoms.
Her doctor will examine her and determine if any further testing such as imaging is necessary.
I hope this helps
