Hi! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Once he was taken to the hospital, I hope they must have excluded a fracture in the area. The swelling could be just a hematoma (collection of blood) due to the injury caused while playing. He should give proper rest to the part which would be taken care by the shoulder band. If I were his doctor, I would have advised him for an anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
