Hi,
Perhaps he has a wound infection; swelling and pain seems to suggest that. I suggest him to take an oral antibiotic e.g. either Amoxycillin or Cephalexin, thrice daily for a week. He must also take an injection of Tetanus Toxoid.
In addition, he may take an OTC anti inflammatory e.g. Tab ibuprofen, twice daily for a week
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
