Hello,
It seems from the history that your boy friend is having swollen eye lid following insect bite. The swelling is because of reaction to the insect bite. Continue the application of ice pack which you are doing now. Along with this he requires antihistaminic drugs. With this the swelling will come down.

Thank you
