It is difficult to provide a diagnosis without a proper physical examination and medical history. However, pain and swelling can be a symptom of many different conditions such as an injury, infection, arthritis, or a chronic medical condition. It is important for your brother to seek medical attention as soon as possible, especially if the symptoms are severe or getting worse. If he is unable to get a consultation in the UAE, he can consider seeking advice from a virtual doctor or telemedicine service. In the meantime, he can try to manage his symptoms by resting the affected area, applying ice to the swelling, and taking over-the-counter pain medication as directed by a doctor.
Hello
Rest for one week to 10 days
Crepe bandage application during night times
Knee immobilizer during day times
Ice pack application three times a day
Anti inflammatory drugs
X ray looks ok only but that's a single view
Patient requires long knee brace application while walking
Ice pack application
Limb elevation on pillow
Rest as much possible
Next Steps
repeat x ray with both the views
uric acid also can be one of the reason
can also get mri knee if pain and swelling still persist after 3 weeks
Health Tips
avoid long time standing and heavy weight lifting
wear long knee brace application
ice pack application twice daily
Where does he have the swelling , the knee or below it on leg?
You need two views to comment on x ray..

Before that it would be better that some orthopedic doctor examines him for proper diagnosis and then treatment.
