Hello, he might have got blunt injury to the muscles of thigh. It will cause inflammatory reaction to that place so it will red, warm to touch, tender and painful. You can apply ice to that region so it will decrease the inflammation. Also I would suggest starting him on some anti-inflammatory medications with analgesic content as it will help to reduce the redness and inflammation along with decrease in the pain. I hope I have helped you. Thank you
