Child Having Pink Eye With Swollen Eyelid, Sore And Itchy And Sensitive To Light

My 9 year old has what looks like pink eye inside the left eye only. It's pink inside the eye, the eyelid is a little swollen and its sensitive to light and sore and itchy. The difference is, from our pink eye before, is that this time it's also pinkish-red around the eye and down his left cheek. Is this pink eye or something else?
