General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

It looks like your son is not getting proper treatment. You are suggested to visit an orthopedics, get your son physically examined. Get him X-ray, CT & MRI done.

Help him get properly assessed and treated at the earliest.

His treatment will depend upon the severity of fracture, injury or ligament, tendon stretching or tear.

He can take pain relievers Combiflam, one sos when required or NSAIDS.(if your son is 18 plus, you have not mentioned the age of your son).

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

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
