Brief Answer:
Where is the exact location of pain?

Detailed Answer:
At the outset, may I know your son's age? and where exactly does it hurt - do you mean in the muscle (buttock muscle) or the anal region? And is there any obvious swelling / redness where it hurts?

Pain in buttock is too broad and non specific. It's difficult to understand the cause. I shall try again after you provide more information.

Brief Answer:
its advisable to visit a doctor...

Detailed Answer:
As there are no physical signs, it's difficult to predict the cause of pain. At this point, I would like to know if he complaints of pain or did you notice symptoms / discomfort to indicate he is in pain.

If he has symptoms and that's persisting, it is advisable to visit a doctor. Treatment depends on the severity of symptoms, cause of pain and his body weight.

Hope this helps.
