Hello,
An infected cyst on the eyelid is most likely to be a stye. It should subside and disappear with the infection and antibiotics would be helpful. Just remember to give warm compresses for 10 minutes, thrice a day. It sounds difficult in a 2 year old child but you could still give it a try. Do not use too hot water. Apply on your cheek to know what heat would be right for her.
Thank you and best wishes
