Hi,
It seems that there might be having local allergic reaction to insect bite producing edema leading to shut.
Along with antihistamine Benadryl he might require oral antibiotic medicine as well to get improvement.
Continue applying ice pack.
Put eye drops containing antibiotic and steroid.
Ok and take care.
