Suggest Treatment For Lumps Under Eyelids Of Both Eyes Of A Toddler

Hi - my toddler son has lumps under his lower eyelids. They are neither red nor sticky. Sometimes they appear to disappear but return swollen. They are under both eyes. I've brought him to my family doctor twice who says they are nothing to worry about....but they are visible for 10 weeks now. He's also very pale ( he refuses to eat meat). This all started after a viral infection in December. He is full of energy, not bruising very easily and has no fever. He had gone off eating any sort of dinner but will eat fruit, cereal, crackers, cheese, breads etc.
I'm very worried about him and am currently trying to get an apt with an eye specialist
