What Causes Sudden Swelling Around The Eyes?

My son spent the day at the Jersey shore s beach and upon returning to the house, began to have swelling around his eye...below and above on the lid. It has become so swollen, that his eye is almost completely closed. I have been having him ice it and have given him a 5ml dose of benyldryl. Valerie
