Thanks for contacting with your health concern

1. As there is the history of rash/swelling, it could be eczema, contact dermatitis, seasonal allergy, insect bite, stings.

PS. although your son is Okay, even then exclude 'Anaphylactic reaction' [probably angioneurotic edema] for which kindly seek emergency services. [as the symptoms returned after general measures taken]

2. Contact a health care professional or hospital emergency department since his symptoms didn't get better with treatment and returned.
