Brief Answer: Yes. Detailed Answer: Hi, I have read your query. Yes, this should not be ignored. Continue icing it and if feasible consult an orthopedic surgeon who can order for x-ray of affected part in AP and Lateral view. If X-ray are normal, then it may be a soft tissue injury and will be corrected using prescription antiinflammatory medication and rest. Until he sees the doctor continue applying cold packs. He can also be started on over the counter antinflammatory agents like ibuprofen. I hope it helps. You are welcome to ask further health related queries.
