HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It would be ok to use a small amount of the pain reliever. Only a small amount of this or any similar medications (ibuprofen, cataflam or naproxen) is recommended because of the risk of a damage to the kidneys if high doses are used.

Pain can be due to issues with the muscles, bones (arthritis, fracture), nerves or other soft tissues in the area.
If there is no history of recent or severe trauma then fracture is unlikely.

Because it is difficult to know the cause without assessment if the area, it would be best for him to see a doctor if the pain is not relieved by the medication.

Imaging may be necessary if the cause is not clear from examination

I hope this helps
