My boyfriend has had a cold for weeks and now he has a swollen face and red rash on his skin...?

he went to see the doc (this was before the rash but when he had a swollen face) who said he's just got the cold everyone has and gave him tablets for allergies...could it be something else tho? he also cant sleep at night...|||It may be a sinus infection and he may need a antibiotic with the swollen face.|||I have no idea as not a doctor- but sounds like the mumps i had- but only a vague possibility- get another opinion or go back to the doctor or go to a%26amp;e if it gets worse.|||Could be a sinus infection, this is something he should see the doctor again for esp. when combined with a rash. The rash could indicate a strep or staph infection which requires immediate antibiotics.|||sux for him...the medicine the doctor gave him well he might be allergic to it....idk im not a doctor....go try to see a different doctor|||I would get a second opinion|||your boyfriend is sniffing coke. next time he says hes going to the doctors insist on going in with him
