Hello,

As per your history, it may be due to the blunt trauma.

For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Heating pads will also help.

In case of movement difficulty and swelling he may require antibiotics after X Ray of hip joints and wrist joints after orthopedician consultation.

In that case restrict movement. Use support while movement.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
