Hi,

It will be possible that he must have landed on the shoulder and gave some small injury to the muscle fibers for which he is getting pain. I will recommend to do some hot fermentation and move the shoulder slowly while lying down and dragging the bed from 0 degree to 180 degree. Gradually as the pain comes down try doing the same thing in sitting and the muscles will get stronger which will help him ease. For the Bump behind the ear, kindly meet a physician as he will be the right person to answer on it.

thank you
