HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it may not be posing effect but it seems to be allergic condition and if it is not the infection then antibiotic will not be effective, and it may needs anti-allergic preparation, if I would be treating doctor of this case then I would treat this condition with anti-allergic eye drops and anti-inflammatory drops, some time it may needs steroid hope this is information helps.
