Many of the bumps and lumps around the eye take their own sweet time leaving. The medication you are taking will help if it's infectious. However some of these things are blocked oil glands, small inclusion or sebaceous cysts or conjunctival concretions. You'll have to be patient and if it's still there in 2-3 weeks (assuming it doesn't get worse), you may need to see an ophthalmologist (Eye MD) for re-evaluation.
