Looking at the history given by you and assuming that you are unable to seek medical care due to corona virus lock down I am giving my opinion.
From the time of injury it is almost 1 month... I hope that the pain has subsided or atleast decreased considerably.
Can you share your X-rays so that I couple.kniw the extent of injury and guide you regarding the treatment properly.
Next Steps
If your son doesn't have any history of diabetes , hypertension, renal disease or allergies amd is still having unbearable pain then you can try Tab voveran d 50 mg twice a day for a day or 2. But it world be better to consult an orthopaedic surgeon. If you can't go personally atleast consult someone online.
Health Tips
Caution to be exercised before taking medication as there are chances of acidity, nausea , vomiting, gastric irritation, constipation and allergic reaction . if this happens then please show the nearest consultant on an emergency basis.
