Son Having Aching and Soreness in Bicep, No Swelling or Bruising, Is He In Need of a Doctor?

Not completely sure if this is the right part of the forum to post this but my child, 14 and is not involved in sports whatsoever, has been having terrible pains in his bicep-area.

He can't seem to move his arm above his head or even tense his arm. I suggested some growing pains but it has lasted about 4-5 days non-stop. There's no inflammation or bruising in any way, it's just incredibly sore and achy around the bicep area (mainly above the elbow, below the shoulder) Is this something to worry about? Should we see a doctor? Just wanted to know if it's anything major. Thanks!

    Don't worry about replying now, the problem solved itself after using a topical cream given by our doctor.
