Hello
It seems from the history that your son got a hit on his eye following which he is having swollen eyes.
This is because of accumulation of blood in the layers of the skin of the eyelids as a result of impact of trauma.
No need to worry it will resolve over 1-2 weeks an d applying cold compression as you are doing is sufficient. No need to worry he will be alright. But if there is any injury to the eye it requires examination and treatment by ophthalmologist.
Thank you
