Possible break: You need to ice, elevate and place an ace bandage around the area as soon as possible and as often as you can tonight. If he wakes up in the morning with significant pain and swelling, than get him to the doctor. If the pain has fairly well dissipated, than this may be just a sprain, or contusion. Good luck.

X-ray: Needs to have an x-ray to make sure there is not a fracture.
