DS is 7. Last Friday, ie about ten days ago, he got elbowed in the balls at a rugby practice. He complained of sore balls for a day or two but never mentioned it again. But two days ago he said his balls were still a bit sore, and showed us a small but quite distinct, hard lump that has come up where he was bruised: it's just above where his tummy meets his testicles. I checked tonight and the lump does not seem to have diminuished at all.
We live in a third world country with not very good doctors, and I think I will just get brushed off if I take him to the doctor. Does anyone have any experience of this, or advice to offer ? Feel really concerned that it's a hernia or something that we should take action about.
TIA

Feeling so worried about a small hard lump that has come up on DS after a rugby injury. Anyone, please?
