Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having infected stye producing swelling, induration and pain.
This shows acute infection and might require one course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course after consulting your doctor.
Apply hot application.
Put antibiotic eye drops every 2-3 hourly.
Ok and take care.
