Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
From your history it seems that you might have 1, infected stye or 2, Mybabian cyst.
Go for one course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine and you will be alright.
If there is Mybabian cyst then you have to go for excision of the cyst.
Put antibiotic drops in eye every 2-3 hours.
Ok and bye.

Ophthalmologist,  Dr. AK Garg's  Response
Hello

You are suffering from a stye in your eye. You should perform hot fomentation and anti-biotic drops about 4 times a day. Also, take oral anti-biotic and anti-inflammatory tablets for about 5 days, If there is no yellow point. However, if there is a yellow point, infected hair follicle has to be epilated (removed) by an eye surgeon and the stye needs to be drained.
