What Causes Swelling In Eye Spreading Around Face?

My daughter woke up 9 days ago with her eye swelled up . The next day it got worse so I took her to doctor and he said it was cellulitis. He prescribed her 2 antibiotics . Everyday it gets worse . It looks like a bruise that keeps spreading around her face . Today it has moved to her jaw line on the opposite side it started. There is swelling involved too . Doctors don't know what it is . They did cat scan and bloodwork and all came back normal.
