Suggest Remedy For Redness On Cheeks After Tonsil Removal

My 13 year old grandson had his tonsils removed yesterday. His cheeks have turned a deep red color. He is not running a fever. He is taking an antibiotic and steriod for the swelling. We are unable to reach his doctor. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Hi dear,

If he do not have fever and it is just a discolouration, and not a raised itchy wheel, nothing to worry. If raised and itchy rash, this might suggest an allergic reaction needing immediate attention.

Hope I have answered your query
Let me know if I can assist you further
