Equine Health: Skull Fractures in Horses

My horse fractured his skull on January 11,2019. He developed a lump of his head that day and within days he developed two more lumps. The first and biggest lump formed on the front of his face about halfway down. It is located roughly about one inch below and to the right of his left eye. The other two lumps followed the "frontonasal suture." He had his fracture confirmed by the veterinarian. He was put on Equioxx once a day and not to be work for 10 weeks. His eyes keep draining and the pressure seems to be immense some days. We are now out of Equioxx and I'm not sure exactly what to do as I called with an update of new swelling that extends from the first lump down and below his left eye. I know this is hurting him and the vet says there's nothing they can do, but wait and allow time to heal him. Can anyone give me advice on what might help him? He's been off work since it happened in January. I've been turning him out as I normally do to keep him calm. I'm starting to wonder if keeping him out 24/7 might help even more? I'm not sure. The beads of water and that form around his eyes and swelling under his left eye are concerning me a lot. My thought is to get a second opinion. Please help!! What can I do for him???
