Without a history & full exam all I can provide for you is a list of conditions that may not apply to your son. Consider over the counter pain relievers, heat, and mild activity reduction for now. He can do as much as he can tolerate without severe pain. If symptoms worsen rapidly, or do not improve in a couple weeks, then see local pediatrician for a more in depth investigation.
