Intestinal parasite generally do not affect the skin and causing localized swelling. She may have been bitten or injured or having a reaction to something else, but not the internal parasite. I would take her back to the vet and have them check her eye to make sure it is just the eyelids and skin affected then they can prescribe medicine to control the swelling and give her comfort
