Hello,
The symptoms of your son seem to be related to bed bites. I suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application. I also suggest using Cetirizine 10 mg daily to relieve the inflammation and the itching. Cold compresses can also be very helpful in relieving the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
