Thanks for writing again.
X-ray is not needed.
He needs to have an oral antibiotic or apply a local antiseptic ointment like Neosporin. Do apply the ointment twice a day after proper cleaning with savlon.
Do get the area examined by a physician - to rule out infection and need of oral antibiotics. Hot fomentation twice a day will help in decreasing pain and swelling.
Hope my answer is helpful.
