I got him to put an ice bag on it and he says it helps. ? How long should I give it to heal before taking him to the doctors?

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms you have described are more likely to be symptoms of muscles strain in groin area.
To get relief from the pain and for quick healing:
1. Do hot fomatation at the site.
2. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day.
3. Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen to reduce pain and local swelling or inflammation.
4. Do not try to do exercise that involve painful muscles. Give proper time to heal.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
