Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

At this age any fall is to be taken seriously. You need to visit an orthopedician asap. Till then take paracetamol to relieve pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
