Please Help! My Kitten has FHV!

About a week and half ago, my kitten(about 2 months old) seemed to have a slightly swollen eye, past experience told me I should isolate the kitten(litter of five), so I did. I carefully observed the kitten's eye for a couple days but it progressively got worse, so I decided to take him to the vet. The vet had diagnosed him with feline herpes virus and he gave us some eyedrops(ciloxan, two drops in affected eye, twice a day) and antibiotics(clavamox, .2mL twice a day), which I attentively treated the kitten with. So for the past week, I've cleaned the affected with saline, and treated him, but he hasn't gotten any better, in fact, I think he may have gotten worse. The kitten keeps rubbing his eye so I made a cone for him, but the kitten's eye right now is swollen, somewhat bald , and has hard brown skin covering the the skin around this eye.

Please help save my kitten, I can't afford another trip to the vet.
