Long term swelling indicates that you are in contact with some irritable substance or have some allergy.

If its not so noticeable you can continue lid cleaning using warm compress, if itching is severe applying fresh honey using bud on eye margin will help rather than going for corticosteroids which have many side effects.

I suggest you to stop using all eye drops & continue hygiene alone.
