Sounds like she has a concussion. She needs to go to the doctor ASAP just in case it's something serious. Head injuries are something that should be taken seriously!

Ice the bump for 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off for a while. It would be best to take her to a doctor, or even the ER because there is a good chance she has a concussion. If she sounds confused or if her pupils are dialated, thats a sure sign she needs to be seen by a professional. Good luck!
