Hydrocortisone cream is over two years out of date still okay to use on eyelid?
Maybe ok. The potency of a medication is often dependent on how it has been stored (usually cool and shady area) . If the appearance looks ok ,you may try it although it may be slightly less potent. Be careful about using cortisone cream on your eyelids.
Obviously the more recent the product is manufactured the more trust one has in it. However for a topical product, I see little harm in trying it.

Antihistamine. Aside from the passage of time, try giving him antihistamine to reduce the itching and swelling. A doctor may also prescribe a short-course of oral steroid if the swelling affects the vision.
