What Causes Swollen Inner Canthus?

My 3 year old son inner canthas get swollen every other day. What can cause it and what is the treatment? Is he to young to go to the eye doctor? When it swells it look like a bubble cover half of his eyeball. The only thing the doctor have done is recommended over the counter eyedrops.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such condition some time self limiting but if it does not comes around then it can be managed with antihistamine eye drops and best would be "Chlorpheniramine maleate" if this is also fails to work then better to see the ophthalmologist, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
