It could be some allergy or insect bite.
Show to a doctor.
Meanwhile give give him Allegra 90 mg once a day, and Prednisone 4mg BD for 3 days.
He may apply beclametasone ointments on itchy areas also
A CBC blood count should be done.if has pain, give Tylenol.
Avoid any other medication if was on before, consult physician.
Look to any diet he's been allergic or intolerant to
