Hi,

From what you described, he is having fever, red bumps on legs, along with erythema ans swelling - all these suggest that he is having a skin infection that is now progressing to cellulitis. Kindly take him to doctor without delay as this need immediate treatment with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Meanwhile give him paracetamol for pain relief and keep the affected limb elevated.

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