Hello. I just read through your question.
I am glad that your son is OK after the fall. There's no need to worry about the swelling. It will take several days for the swelling to resolve. In fact, the swelling may even be worse tomorrow, the day after the injury, then it is today. This is also nothing to worry about. As long as he is otherwise okay, there is no need To be overly concerned.
