Red Rash On Face With Swelling, Got Relief With Antihistamine Tablets And Steroid Creams

My son has developed a red rash (orange peel texture) on his face slightly swollen. First thought he was just red after playing in garden. But was more swollen next morning. Have given him anti histamine tablets and put 1percent steroid cream. Had made it slight better but still has the orange peel texture.
