How To Determine Internal Head Injury?

My daughter went to lay down and missed her pillow. She banged her head into the flat part of the headboard. She didn't cry fit very long. I gave her Tylenol and an ice pack. I don't feel a knot or an indention in the area she hit. She had since fallen asleep due to it being her normal bedtime. Will she be okay? Anything I should watch for?
