How Can A Dog Scratch On The Face Be Treated?

Hi my wife had her face scratched by our new puppy two weeks ago. Since then she has had severe itchiness beneath her left eye and swelling and a bloodshot eye. She has seen three doctor - primary care, urgent care and ER. Each prescribing a different antibiotic and diagnosis except for the ER doctor. ER dr prescribed a shot of Atarax for the itchiness which took the edge off but is now in full mode again. It s driving her crazy. Can you help
