I accidentally dropped my MacBook Pro from my bed, which is about 17 cm high, onto the tiled floor. My MacBook Pro is encased in a plastic protective cover, but I'm feeling concerned. Is it likely that my MacBook Pro is still in good condition ?, or should I be prepared for the possibility of hidden internal damage that isn't immediately apparent? I do not see any apparent damage, screen looks fine, Touch Bar looks fine.
Since you cannot correctly determine internal physical damage without opening up the unit, I stand by my recommendation to have Apple examine the device or you might run into warranty and/or Applecare issues later.
Don't forget to make a backup before taking it in.

You can run diagnostics yourself. Use this link:
Use Apple Diagnostics to test your Mac - Apple Support
In addition you can run Disk First Aid to see if there is any drive damage:
How to repair a Mac disk with Disk Utility - Apple Support
Other than that there would be no way to determine any damage and as long as you are not experiencing any issues then I would not worry about it.
Take it to your nearest Genius Bar and ask them to run diagnostic tests to make sure al is well. There is no way that anyone can do a diagnosis long distance.
Thank you!
I followed the steps, ran the test, and showed no issues.
I guess its fine then!
