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.

Where does he have the swelling , the knee or below it on leg? You need two views to comment on x ray.. Kindly send the other view too.. Before that it would be better that some orthopedic doctor examines him for proper diagnosis and then treatment.
