You can use warm compression and antibiotic eye drops.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Madam
Welcome to Health care Magic

I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history.
These symptoms of redness and swelling in the lower corner with pain can be because of infection/inflammation of the glands of the eyelids like hordeolum.

I usually treat conditions like this by the use of antibiotic eye drops like Moxifloxacin eye drops and warm compression. You need to continue tylenol for pain relief.

If possible do send me a photo of the affected eye so that I can confirm the diagnosis and advice you accordingly since you are not able to visit doctor.

Hope this information is helpful to you.

Thank you
