It doesn't seem to hurt him when I press down on it, although he has a pretty high pain threshold. I do feel a small lump within the swollen area.
It looked yesterday like a small red mosquito bite. Woke up today a little swollen, and then after Benadryl, it swelled even larger so that his eyelid dropped down and could hardly open his eye.
Took him to ER and they said to wait it out. I'm just concerned it's something worse since it hasn't gotten better.
The infected area is definitely warm/hot.
