Hello,
From the history it looks like you have a chalazion in your eyelid. Complete your antibiotic course and along with antibiotic apply hot compress over the eyelid cyst. After your antibiotic course if the cyst is not changing in size then the cyst needs to be scooped out. It is a small OPD procedure which will not cause much discomfort for the patient.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
