My sons face looked a bit sore last night but he was tired so I gave him an early night. He's woken like this. Our doctors is swamped.

Minor injuries?!

Yes - looks like an allergic reaction of some kind.

Give piriton now and see if it goes down in next 30 mins. And allergy eye drops if you have them. If no change then doc.

Do you have a walk in centre? I think I'd be taking him there for opening time to get that checked, it maybe looks like an allergy but I'm not a medic!

I phoned 111 and they've arranged for our gp to phone us back. His face looks infected to me

Could be impetigo but well done for calling 111. Hope you hear back soon

Good luck. I hope he's OK. (I would still give allergy med while you wait. Because if it is then it will start working. If not you have ruled it out.)

Yep given him piriton and the swelling has gone down a bit. Wiped his face with salt water in the meantime
