Please, let him rest for 1-2hrs. Kittens tend to cry a lot when something painful happened to them, but they quickly recover, if it is only a muscle or joint pain. However, if Seeti continues to cry, it will mean there is a more serious injury. In that case, you need to ring your local vets or emergency service. I do not the lockdown regulations where you life, but in many places people are allowed to go out and see a vet with a true emergency case.
