Can Black Swelling Beneath The Eye Be Caused By Steroid And Benzonatate Capsules?

I was diagnosed yesterday with an upper respiratory infection and was treated with steroids and benzonatate capsules. I have developed swelling underneath my eye and it is black. Should I return to doctor or could this be caused from the coughing or medication?
