Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

If there is no external deformity or swelling at the site of injury there is no cause for concern.
Hot water fomentation will be helpful. If the limping persist, consult a Pediatric Surgeon for further assessment.

Do get back to me for further queries

Take Care
