Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a bump on the eye ball in the corner of the eye close to eye ball. This can be a inflammatory lesion affecting one of the glands of the eyelids.
Since you are pregnant 18 weeks you need to avoid oral antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Hence the treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops and applying hot compression to the swollen area if the bump is on the skin side.

Thank you
