hi.
it's an inflammatory reaction of your grandson to mosquito bites. it should subside in 2-3days time. if you could tell him to avoid scratching or manipulating his wounds, it would be best, as infection might ensue. you could also apply mosquito repellant lotion on him after taking his bath or put him on those child-friendly patches mosquito repellant.
hope this helps.
good day!!
