Call his doctor ASAP: Your son needs an exam so that studies can be arranged. Persistent pain and a point where there is tenderness are worrisome. I would seek help sooner if he has problems with alertness, vision, or balance. Redness, swelling, or warmth at the spot where he is most tender would also be of concern. In the mean time, you can try over the counter pain medicines, oral rehydration, and start a pain diary.

Needs head check: While headaches can be due to multiple causes in children, not sure about the uneven part on the skull, which can be due to some infection or small abscess from bacteria or a head fungus. In any case he needs to be examined by his doctor for a prompt diagnosis and treatment.
