His symptoms are suggestive of Acute Urticaria. This is usually caused by either due to allergy to the sea plant or coral or toxins from the coral .
The treatment given to him is the perfect treatment however if it worsens he might need a short corticosteroid medication course .
Please note that if he has any lip swelling or difficulty in breathing you should see doctor right away.
