What Causes Sensitivity To Light And Double Vision In Children?

My son las 6and1/2 yrs. Since last 20 days before at night his right eye became redish and got swelling a little. Next morning I visited a eye specialist and my son was prescribed with MILAX PLUS FOUR TIMES A DAY. But after 15 days again same thing occurs. I tried to see with a torch light inside the lower eye lid and found Swelling just like a baloon .. Also noticed some small white line(just like small worm). Today again I took my son to the same doctor and described every thing. Also expressed my fear about the worm in eye. But the doctor advised GBO DM eye drop. My son also expressed his sencivity towards light on right eye, some times also say that he is seeing double objects. Please suggest.
