It can be because of infection of glands of eyelids.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having sore and swollen eyelids. These symptoms indicate inflammation or infection of the glands of the eyelids like hordeolum.
I would like to treat conditions like this by the use of antibiotic eye drops and analgesic tablets. Applying warm compression will provide symptomatic relief.

If possible do send a photo of the affected eye so that I can confirm the diagnosis and advice you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
