He really needs to see a doctor as that sort of reaction can be serious. If you have antihistamine tablets then he should take one and use an ice pack.
Go to a doctor if it's serious but there are also home remedies you can do, such as laying a wet washcloth over your eyes, closing your eyes, taking a shower or a bath and also just resting! But again if it's serious, see a doctor or seek emergency care!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
