Brief Answer:
Hi and welcome

Detailed Answer:
first, he should be sure that there is no fracture so it would be advisable to do Xrays. if there is no fracture then this was probably just some harder contusion or muscle pulling and pain should subside within 2-3 days. he should apply cold compresses,keep leg elevated and take nonsteroid painkillers. If leg become cold, more painful and swelled, he should visit ER. Wish you good health. Regards
