What Causes Painful Swelling And Pimple Like Sore In The Right Eye?

My son has a pimple like sore in his right eye. He has pain, pressure and swelling. He went to urgent care and they prescribed an antibiotic drop. He has been using for four days with some improvement. Now he is having the same symptoms in his left eye. We are on vacation and don t have access to his primary care physician. What could this be?
