Welcome at HCM
i totally agree with your health concern
has your son suffered from same symptoms before or this ist time?Has he developed any rash on any other part of body?
what is his age?
After surgery patient is prescribed several drugs including painkillers and antibiotics.any drug can cause the allergy.Antibiotic can be more probable cause of it
You need not to worry.Just give him a dose of antihistamine and concern your doctor when you get chance.he may give a shot of steriod if it persists.
