Depend on the fall: You could be dealing with swelling related to the injury. It depends on how he fell and what he hit. If this doesn't respond fairly quickly to rice (rest, ice, compression, elevation) and simple analgesics i recommend that you call his doctor.

Touch and feel: If it is very sore to pressing on the side of the leg, you might want to take him to the doctor for an x-ray. If not watch him, put ice on it, rest it and give something for pain, and see if it doesn't feel better tomorrow.
