Swelling on the forhead

Swelling on the forhead

My daughter bumped her head on the corner of  a dresser. She cried and then I took her outside, she was able to walk fine. I am concerned because she has a large bump on her forhead above her right eye and she became sleepy. I've been told that you should not let a child fall asleep after they bump their head? Should I call my doctor?
