Brief Answer:
It can be allergies.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I see the photo you attached and the face seems red and swollen.

I want to know some more details like if he has fever, elevated body temperature,if he is allergic to any substances.

I think that most probably this can be related to allergies. He may need to take antihistamines such as ketotifen and corticosteroid injections.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
