You need additional prescription based treatment and investigations.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Please give additional information for me to assist you better:
Please post the clear and focused photos as these help sometimes for on-the-spot diagnosis.
Do you know the insect that stung? just a possibility.
As per the history you have provided it looks that the edema is spreading through the loose tissue plane below the epicranium layer and above above pericranium allowing it to spread to the eyelids as occurs in black eye after injury over scalp.
Since this is after an insect bite and the problem has persisted you need additional treatment may be with antihistamine and oral steroids if you are not diabetic.
The role of antibiotic may not be there but may be needed if there are signs and symptoms of infection.
Continue taking Ibuprofen as before.
Please consult your Doctor asap as you need proper diagnosis, additional management and investigations.
I hope this answer helps you.
Please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
