Suggest Treatment For Fever , Headache And Eye Pain In A Child

My 7 year old son started having a headache/eye pain Friday night before bed. Saturday morning he woke with a fever and still had the headache and eye pain. Around 1230, his eye swole almost shut. I had given him 2 doses of Tylenol and one dose of Ibuprofren throughout the day. He was crying pretty bad with the pain in his eye so I called the answering service of his ped dr who said take him to med express, which I did. They told me he has a sinus infection and a Stye. Gave me an oral antibiotic and a topical antibiotic. He has had a dose of the Cephalix and I used topical twice on his eye. His fever is rising and is now at 102.5 and he is crying more and can t sleep due to the pain in his eye. Is this normal for a Stye to cause this and when should I be concerned about his temperature continuing to rise with meds?
