Hi,
Serum sickness due to antibiotics can cause this. But I feel that you need to consider the possibilities of -
1. Autoimmune disorder.
2. Immunodeficiency.
Please discuss these possibilities with his pediatrician and get him evaluated, please.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
