Itching And Lumps On The Head And Near The Eyes. Enlarged Lymph Node. Allergic Reaction?

After 4 days on meds there is no improvement and more spots. Obviously I will go back to dr as my eye aches and these bumps hurt and itch. But she honestly had no idea what they were the first time.. So now what
