It could be a number of things from a sty or maybe something is caught in it, the eyes are such a sensitive organ, you should definitely bring him to your doctor, oh and don't touch it as this can irritate it more.

You need to get his temperature down, paracetamol are the best for doing so and most children's medicines will have this drug such as Calpol, also a cold cloth on his forehead works wonders, but the temperature needs to come down. Now I don't want to scare you by any means but since you doctor isn't around you could bring him to A&E, he may not need to go but if your feeling so fretful I don't see the harm. Don't worry though this could be very minor maybe just a cold and the puffy eye could be due to this or just a separate issue.

Sorry we probably use different terms in ireland, bring him to your nearest hospital. (A&E) accident and emergency is what we call it sometimes
