Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Shin

My son got kicked in the shin in football practice a couple weeks ago. His shin has swollen up with a goose egg bump. The bump has not gone away and now my son says there is tingling/numbness in his foot. Is this common? Should I worry? I m going to get it checked, but don t want to sound neurotic over a bump on the leg. Thank you.
