Sounds like: "secondary" bacterial infection ...Try using an ANTIBIOTIC ointment on the bite. OTC products in this County include Bacitracin...Neosporin ...Polymixin etc Hope this is helpful Dr Z BTW Warm Moist packs to the bite may be VERY useful! Dr Z

Infection: There may be a foreign body within the area of the bite. Please have your son examined by a Physician.
