Hello,
It seems from the history that you are having abscess on the upper eye brow.
The treatment you are taking is right and you can continue it. But the best treatment for abscess is drainage of the pus which provides faster relief and cure.
So even with treatment if the abscess is not responding please do consult your eye doctor for treatment of the abscess by drainage.
Thank you
