Suggest Treatment For Swollen Eyelid Of A 12 Year Old

My 12 year old son woke up this morning with his left eyelid swollen and reddish purple. It was slightly swollen last night. He is complaining that it is sore. He currently has been putting an ice pack on it and its going down slowly. He has not had an injury there or a cold. What could this be? What can I do for it?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi..it can be allergic reaction or can occur following trauma. The child should have ophthalmological assessment done so that any swelling or conjunctival or corneal lesion can be noticed earlier.
