Cheekbone pain?

My son is 10 and says he has cheekbone pain.
I’ve never had this or heard of this and I’m really unsure what to do? I suffer health anxiety so I’m panicking now like a crazy woman.
I called my gp but they can’t get us in 😭

I'd assume he'd banged himself (ie is bruised but it hasn't come out yet).

Or check exactly where he means... Could be a stiff jaw (tons of reasons, eg grinding teeth when asleep).

It can also be from the ear or jaw. Does he grind his teeth?

Could be some double teeth coming through

This is where he is saying it hurts, I’ve googled frantically and it’s saying all sorts albeit none too worrying. I just don’t like to see my child in pain :(
