Suggest Treatment Eye Swelling Caused By Conjunctivitis
my boyfriend has had pink eye for about a week now. he hasn't been in to see a doctor because it seemed to start to clear up with polysporin eye drops. it's now swollen shut, with discharge and crusting. and this morning he woke up with dry blood around his eye

welcome to HCM
Going through your description it appears as Bacterial conjunctivitis which could be of membranous type where in when the membrane is disturbed will eventualy cause bleeding.
Start with antibiotic eye drops such as moxifloxacin (one drop every hourly for 5 days)
along with Nevenac eye drops (one drop every 6 hourly for 1week).
Do take oral antibiotics and Nsaids(Aceclofenac) for faster recovery.
Do consult an ophthalmologist if it worsens
hope this helps
