Hi,
Your boy should have contusion over the site of injury which is collection of blood in the scalp. I suggest hot compression over the site for relief. Use some analgesics too. Use paracetamol for your child to get rid of pain. It will subsides within one or two days. If the temperature persists, consult a physician to rule out other causes. Analgesics relieve the neck pain too.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
