Sounds as though he is having a local reaction to something. Since the area is getting larger, best to call his doctor now. They may suggest something like benedryl and/or to have him seen.

First its not a good idea to piggyback your question on someone else's. This can lead to confusion. You should start a new thread. So I've moved your question to its own thread. For future reference, please choose a more appropriate forum and title for your questions.

Have you tried using calamine or neosporin?

So why are you posting here? Why not take him to the nearest emergency. I also notice you posted and didn't stick around for answers.

We can't diagnose here especially for something as instant as a bug bite.
