Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
Thank you for submitting images of your daughter's problem. She has a stye on the lower eyelid. This is caused by the glands in the eyelashes to become blocked and start an infection. The treatment is using warm compresses on the eye 6-10 times a day and the use of an antibiotic eye drop or ointment. You can go to any urgent care center and they will be able to prescribe the proper antibiotic. While waiting use the warm compresses to also help draw out the infection.
With treatment her eye should improve in a few days
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any further questions
