If the swelling was caused by mycoplasma (MG) then it is a chronic disease. You can try the eyedrops or get Terramycin eye ointment from a feed store and repeat treatment 2-3 times per day. Is there any pus behind the eye? Do you have a picture?

If you can post a picture of her eye that would be good to see. The swelling sometimes can be due to pus in the sinus cavity, and it can come out when the skin is squeezed. Here is a good article to read about MG and sinus infection, and a very graphic video of getting pus out of a sinus:
