Hi.
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain your son is experiencing an allergic reaction to any of the contents of the anaesthetic solution or any medication which is given to him post-operatively for relief from pain and to prevent infections which is leading to redness of face ..
You should consult your treating surgeon and get him evaluated and in case of allergic reaction the surgeon can advise him to take anti-histamines like allegra, benadryl or claritin along with it steroids can also be advised for reducing inflammation..
But any medication should be given only after proper advise with the treating surgeon..

Hope this helps.

Regards..
