Hello,
As he had a fall direct impact over the knee, there will be pain and swelling. Since you will be adviced to take at least an x-ray for the safe side if any bony injuries are present shouldn't be ignored. For now, you can do icing and knee brace. This will help reduce pain and swelling. May be you can get it physically examined once.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
