Pain In Hip Joint, Popping Sound On Walking, Sports Injury. X-ray Normal. Treatment?

My 12 year old son had to leave his tackle footbal game with pain in his hip joint following being tackled. I took him to the ER and he was x-rayed and we were told it was fine. the day after he is having popping in his hip joint with every stride while walking. How should I proceed or what type of specialist should I see?
