Brief Answer:
Hey it could be an inflmmatory component

Detailed Answer:
heybthanks for the question . its sounds like the eyelid tissue has given an inflammatory reaction to the insect bite and it will need treatment with topical and oral antihistaminics and you can also use ice for local application . Dont worry with treatment he would be alright in three to four days. But he needs an eye examination soon for the starting of medicines . Hopw my answer helps you . Regards
