What Causes Pain And Swelling In The Penis?

My 9 year old has always had a large curly vein on the top of his penis. It seems to have straightened out. But today it s swollen on the top significantly. Is this serious and what can I do before taking him to the doctor? It is painful when he pushes on it a little. Looks to be swollen about 1/2 an inch from normal in that area.
