Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam,

Welcome to healthcaremagic

I understand your situtation.Please do not panic and take your child to your nearest emergency care, even if he does not have any severe symtptoms. Because he is of just a child we do not want to take any kind of risk with his life and that he would not be able to say anything regarding his symptom.

In the meanwhile please apply ice cubes to the area for relief.

Hope this helped.Feel free to ask more.
