Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since your son is very active in Sports, he might have injured his left leg unknowingly which is causing this painful swelling.
So better to consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination of swelling and x ray and ultrasound examination of local part to rule out internal injury.
If all these are normal then no need to worry for internal injury.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Give him painkiller and anti inflammatory drugs. Tell him not to play sports and take rest for 1 week.
Don't worry, he will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
