It is most probably an allergy. If it is not responding, then you need to share the picture and do the online consultation again

It might be due to allergy.
The treatment given is ok.
But
If thete is not desired effect then we will have to review the treatment.
Restrict him to plplay in sun and avoid using mobile.
If it doesn't work
Then start soft steroids. Eg moxicip lp eye drops thrice daily
And continue with cold compresses by ice.
