First off, pain and swelling? See a doctor if you can't quickly get it under control.

Things to try;

1) Apply ice 15min/hour to help reduce swelling

2) Ibubrofen - reduce pain, but especially reduce swelling

3) batting gloves

4) wrap the handle with tape (3/4" wide, black, athletic tape)

5) loosen the grip on the bat (you don't need to choke the thing to death)

6) quit hitting the ball off the end of the bat (or near the handle) as it hurts your hands and breaks the bat.

7) could be a bug bite - try an antihistamine

If it keeps flairing up he may need to take a break from hitting for a week. He could also have an injury so see a DR (orthopedic hand specialist) if you can't get it under control quickly.
