Hello
It seems from the history that your son is having pain, swelling in the eye lids with fever.
This can be because of viral infection as told by your doctor. The treatment is by antibiotic eye drops to prevent secondary bacterial infection as advised by your doctor.
Along with this he requires antipyretic drugs like paracetamol and oral antibiotics for better relief from symptoms. Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for prescription of the drugs.
Thank you
