If she lost consciousness at that time of the fall or was on blood thinning medication, she will need a c t scan of the head to rule out a bleed inside the brain. But the fact that she has remained well over the last couple of days means she will not have a major issue. The bruising and swelling around the eyes will settle over about ten days to 2 weeks.
