Treatment For Sore, Swelling And Bruise On Cheek After A Fall

Hi, my 7 year old tripped while getting out of a boat and fell onto his face onto the concrete (probably from a distance of 5 feet). His cheek is swollen, bruised, and sore to the touch. Should I have him evaluated to see if it is broken, or wait a few days?
