Hello
It seems from the history that you are having sore and swollen eyes with a pimple under the eyelid.
This indicates inflammatory lesion of the gland of the eyelid in the form of hordeolum or stye.
The treatment of the condition is by use of antibiotic eye drops and oral anti-inflammatory drugs and hot compression..
You can use polysporin or fucidin eye drops as they are antibiotic eye drops and genteal eye drops are not effective as they are only artificial tears eye drops.
Thank you
