My son's face has become a little off, what do you think? Not sure what to do.

Hi, I wasn't sure if I should post this, especially with photos (I'm a bit funny about things like that) but I need to know if I'm overreacting. My oldest son is 11. He has been having a few vision problems, nothing bad, but sometimes says that his eye feels 'cloudy' but that can come and go. His GP said that we should take him to get his eyes tested. The optician said that there was nothing wrong with his eyes (but the cloudiness wasn't there at the exam, so it was hard to judge, IMO) and that it's nothing to worry about, regarding his eye sight. However, the GP said it wasn't anything medical, either, so I figured it would be best to just leave this. I know this may not be relevant, but I think it could be.

We are currently on a trip away, for an award ceremony, for DH (yes, they have been agreed time off, in case anyone moans about that!) so I'm not sure what to do, which is why I'm posting here... I don't know if it can wait or not. We are 3 hours away from his regular GP... His face seemed a bit off, when he woke up, you see how his smile is half up, but half down? It's never normally like that, and he has had the 'cloudy eye' this morning, but that has gone away now. Does anyone know if this is concerning?

Thanks everyone. What a day it turned into... They did some bloods, etc. they think it's just an infection. He has some antibiotics and some eye drops. Thanks all!
