Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Health care magic
From the photo which you have sent and from the symptoms of swelling and pain in the lower eye lid yesterday which are mentioned in the history,
This appears to be inflammatory swelling of the eye lid involving one of the glands of the eyelid and it is most probably stye or XXXXXXX hordeolum.
The condition requires treatment by oral antibiotics, oral antiinflammatory drugs and topical antibiotic eye ointment. Hot compression for the swelling with a clean cotton cloth dipped in hot water will provide symptomatic relief and help in early resolution of the swelling.
I advice you to take treatment under supervision of eye doctor which will help in finding out the cause or predisposing factors if any and thereby in preventing the recurrences.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thank you
