Reason For Sudden Swelling In Eyes With Itchy Ears And Strange Breathing For 4 Year Old

My 4 year old son woke up this morning with his eyes swollen (nearly) shut, and he was breathing strange, itchy ears, almost like a wheeze. He doesn't have a fever, no bumps anywhere. I was just worried what it is. I at first thought it was just pink eye, but now I'm not so sure.

Hello. While this sounds like an allergy situation, he may very well have conjunctivitis--pink eye--and for that reason he needs to see a doctor to see if he needs a course of antibiotic eye drops
