    Pain is a very difficult ailment to pinpoint... describe the pain: is it stabbing, is it throbbing, does it hurt when he breathes in deeply, or does it hurt near the back/front, does it hurt when he lays down, etc.

    In that general area, the heart, spleen, and the pancreas are nicely aligned... which means that it could be any of those. Of course, it could also be his ribcage, his muscles, his back, etc.

    Has he been hurt before? Is he on any medication?

    Swelling usually means an infection or a trauma of some sort. I suggest he gets a doctor to take a look at it.
