Default Is it conjunctivitis, blepharitis or neither?

Long story short, I took my 5 year old son to the doctor Wednesday after noticing his swollen upper eyelid. The doctor said it was blepharitis and I should wash his eyelid with baby shampoo and put a warm compress on it twice a day. I took him to a second doctor since I wasn't too confident in the 1st doctor diagnosis. The second doctor told me it was conjunctivitis (although his eye was not red/pink in color) and gave my son a prescription for eyedrops and amoxicillin. 2 days later, my son is back to normal BUT my upper eyelid is slightly swollen. It's not pink but hurts to look up or sideways. I also notice a light sensativity which is particularly noticeable outside where I see blurs/floaters. I took a few of the leftover drops and also some Omnicef I had leftover from when I had an ear infection. After 2 days, no improvements. Until July 1, I do not have insurance so would like to see if using the same things would work. Any ideas?
