My 3 yr old hit head on corner of open drawer at base on left side. she is acting fine, not asleep but her head swelled but now spot is squishy.

Several cues: The kid who is NOT knocked out, disoriented or confused @ the time of the injury is probably fine. Confusion or repeated episodes of vomiting in the hours after trauma deserve a look over by the dr.Kids under 8 can be allowed to nap on their regular schedule, with you checking in on occasion.Cold compresses can reduce the swelling, if the kid will let you.
