Forehead, Nose, And Eyes Suddenly Becoming Swollen. Took Antihistamines. Concerned ?

My Brother is on holiday in Malta and is complaining of his forehead, nose, and eyes suddenly becoming swollen. Is this as a result of the sun, or is he likely to have been bitten? He's taken antihistamines but these don't seem to be helping. Can you recommend anything for him to try to reduce the swelling? He hasn't complained of any inflammation or discolouration.
