Brief Answer:
it's like to be a stye.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking query on this forum.

Most likely you are having Stye. A stye is a red, painful lump near the edge of your eyelid that may look like a boil or a pimple. They are often filled with pus. They usually, form on the outside of your eyelid. But sometimes it can form on the inner part of your eyelid.

Treatment-
Keep eyes clean.
Apply eye ointment moxifloxacin thrice a day.

Take antibiotic Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily along with Tylenol twice daily. Cipro a prescription medicine, so need to see a doctor for a complete prescription.
Tab Cetirizine 10mg once daily (anti histaminic)

Take them for 5 days.
You should be fine.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
