What Causes Swollen Eyes And Lump In The Ear Of The Children?
my 14 yr old son just woke up with a swollen eye, a bump by his ear and one on his head. I was wondering what it could be. I didn't know if it might be an allergic reaction to a new food he ate last night or a bug bite. they weren't there when he went to sleep

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It may be an insect bite.
Allergic reaction to an insect bite can cause localized swelling to occur. Using an oral antihistamine would help reduce his reaction.
These would be available over the counter.
If there is pain then an oral anti inflammatory such as ibuprofen or naproxen would help.
I hope this helps
