    Sounds like he needs to visit his GP as soon as he can, this could be an allergic reaction to the patches, but I'm not medically qualified to know for sure so the doctor is the best bet to sort this out.

    Thanks he stopped taking the patches about 11 days ago. He has seen the soc hence the antibiotics but I'm sure it's related to giving up smoking or well cutting down.

    The only way of getting to the root of the problem is a quick visit back to the doc - it can't be from cutting down on smoking this would be a health benefit the only other thing it could be is - if he is using patches he should not be smoking at all!!

    It sounds like he's cutting down on smoking but using patches - I think your not supposed to smoke at all if you are using patches
