Son fell off bike cut knee now it's slightly red around the injury and he is saying it is painfull to walk?

Clean and dress: The redness likely due to abrasion, and the pain with walking is likely due to deep bruising from the fall. Keep clean and ice the area tonight to keep the swelling down. If the pain worsens and he has a difficult time bearing weight, have him seen.
