Swollen eyelid 8 months after conjunctivitis(?) and medication

Hello,

In august 2020, I got conjunctivitis (probably). The white of my eye got very red, and my eyelid was very swollen. I did not experience any pain. Liquid did came out of my eye when waking up.

The doctor prescribed chloramphenicol eye drops, which did not help. He then prescribed fucithalmic eye gel, which helped a bit to make my eye less red, but not completely. My eyelid was less swollen, but still a lot more than my other eyelid (which was normal). He then prescribed ofloxacine eye drops, which helped to make the redness go away completely, but did not fix my swollen eye.

So, I went to the eye doctor in the hospital to fix my swollen eyelid. He told me I have an allergy in my I, which I found weird because I have never had any eye/eyelid problems before. He said that there was water retention in my eyelid because of the allergy, so he prescribed medication against allergies. Allergodil eye drops & artelac eye drops (the last is against dry eyes because of the medication).

I have been using that for two months, but I can't see any difference. I can't find anything on the internet.

Is it possible that I have ptosis now because of the long medication use? Or maybe I never had conjunctivitis, but (epi)scleritis? (If that would even explain my swollen eyelid.

The white of my eye was completely healed after about two months.

I did not use medication before, besides Diane 35 birth control and there are no eye problems in my family.
