Hi.
It looks like infection in the oil glands present in eye leading to swelling and discharge.
So my suggestion is to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated.
A clinical examination cam be done for confirmation.
If needed a course of antibiotics can help followed by applying a steroid based ointment and antibiotic and anti inflammatory eye drops.
Hope I have answered your query.
Please let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards.
