Hi,
The symptoms your son is experiencing are indicating a possible allergic reaction.
Although he is taking Predimet (steroid supposed to reduce the allergic symptoms), he is still developing it.
I suggest to take off Pentasa and VSL#3 and continue taking predimet until you see the doctor.
Take care!
