Thank you for the query.
Your description does not say if swelling has subsided after 24 hrs.
The eye may be covered with cotton dipped in water at room temperature r a bit colder. for a few minutes. Four to five times a day.
You can give him paracetamol too, just to subside inflammation.
If it has not subsided and increasing, with sticky discharge, you better go to an ophthalmologist.
