Possibly: An inguinal hernia usually presents with a visible or palpable bulge. Pain alone without a bulge is more likely to be from another source, such as a muscle strain. He should be examined by a pediatric surgeon.

Possibly: Ask him where it hurts. Have him point out the area and demonstrate with a few coughs. If you see a bulge at the navel or the navel is tender then he has an umbilical hernia. If you see a bulge above his scrotum the he has an inguinal hernia. Have his pediatrician take a look.
