Sounds l like you did exactly the right things. His lip may need several days to go down in swelling. Just keep some ice on it for the first 48 hours to help the swelling.
It'll be ok...

Kids are tough, i used to work in a daycare and we had a bike area for our 2 year olds. Believe me ive seen many scrapes and bruises and bumps. If your brother doesnt want to keep ice on it, like a lot of kids, try giving him a popsicle or someting else frozen that he would like to eat. Even a frozen waffle or something. It will keep him occupied and keep his mind off of the fact that he got hurt, as well as help to keep the swelling down. Unless he's bleeding, he'll be fine.

It will be swollen for a while. Just keep putting ice on it.
