Suggest Remedy For Eye Problem

i woke up with a chalzion in my eyelid 5 days ago and i have been using warm compresses and a diluted salt aplution to clean to eye and it hasnt gotten any smaller and the swelling wont go down. i am very self conscious about it and want it gone alot faster. is there anything i can buy over the counter at a local drugstore that is effective in clearing up the swelling and discomfort? i am also steering away from surgery because of my fear of it. mostly i want the swelling to go down so i can have two normal sized eyeballs again

you can not have it suddenly. it slowly grows towards cornea. it is to be resected. no treatment to cure it.
