Hello,
It seems from the history that you had injury during a dental procedure for which air was injected, it might have gone into one of the paranasal sinuses surrounding the eye.
As your doctor has tightly told this will decrease in 2 to 3 days.
Since you are alread6 on treatment with antibiotics and steroids this will take care of inflammation.
If the symptoms won't come down by 4 days need to consult your doctor.
Thank you.
