Talk to experienced orthopedist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Looking at the location , there could be a partial injury to triceps/ olcrenon contusion ..
Try getting a proper x ray of the elbow- lateral view to begin with..
If it’s normal and his elbow movements are fine, we could wait for couple of weeks..pain takes some time to resolve
Next step would be to get a mri to assess the extent of soft tissue injury..

Hello Practo User,
It looks like there some residual fluid at the area you have marked on the picture, which is very likely.
Xray is not showing any obvious bony injury.
Next Steps
Avoid pressure on the elbow when sitting on the chair for next three weeks.
Don't apply anything at all.
No active exercises for now.
Health Tips
Don't worry,he will recover soon..
regards,
