Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for this. Since it is not broken, it will gradually heal by itself.
He is mostly not having symptoms also. So nothing should be done.
Let this heal by itself.
Ask him to take high calcium diet like milk, protein powder, banana, vegetables etc.
Calcium is needed for rapid healing.
Don't worry, he will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
