Seen vet...is this normal?

I took Diablo to the vet last Wednesday. His poor face was all swollen, like he had a rabbit nose and chipmunk cheeks. He was thankfully still eating/drinking/poo normal/active. The vet sent me home with anti-inflammatory meds (7-10days) and by the weekend the swelling was gone. We think he got bit by a spider/bug. I was also told I could give him .2ml of childrens Benadryl 2x daily as needed because he developed itching. My concern now is that he is lethargic/skittish. Still drinking/poo normal, eating but not like he used to and 75% active when out of his cage (which is a big cage, used to house 4 chins). He was checked for hair ring at the vet and all was good there. I have given him Critical care to assist with the food intake concern. I have spoken with the vet off/on about progress but I don't want to be the owner that calls daily. Does this sound like normal recovery behavior and I'm just overly worried or should I have him seen again?
P.S. sorry for the lengthy post.
