Hi Joanna, you really need to get a second opinion from another vert. It sounds like a hypersensitivity reaction to the topical deworming treatment. He needs an injection of an anti-inflammatory/steroid and anti-histamine and some fluids to counteract the reaction. He should feel better pretty quickly after that treatment.
