Hi my five year old had a low fever from this morning and a high one this evening. i gave him baby tylenol and his fever dropped to 99. he woke up hungry during the night with a good appetite but his eyes cheek and lips were swollen. Later his eyes are looking a bit better (not a whole lot) but his upper lip is getting bigger. Please advise.
Hi...by what you quote I feel that your son might be having a viral illness with co-morbid allergic manifestation going on. As of now this seems like a simple angioedema, but it may progress. Be on the lookout for - respiratory distress/ strider/ red colored urine/ rash over the body especially lower limbs/ severe pain in the tummy. If these appear take him to the nearest emergency room as soon as possible. Regards -
