Hello, Possible causes like contusion following a fall must be ruled out. Other possibilities like juvenile arthritis can also cause similar symptoms but the condition itself is rare. As of now you can give him paracetamol for pain relief and apply warm compression. Absolute test for three to four days is also recommended. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
