Fluids/Ibuprofen: Continue to encourage fluids, monitor temperature and treat fever > 101. If he can not weight bear or has increasing pain or fever, please see your pediatrician. He can take children's ibuprofen for pain and a local heating pad may help.

Visit: He has likely had a suprainfection that many times is bacterial and will need treatment. Taking him to his pediatrician would be appropriate.
