Hello
The history suggests a chalazion or a hordoleum externum.A chalazion is a lump of the eyelid.It may be soft- painless or painful or firm.
I would suggest you ask her to give some hot fomentation .This can give her some comfort and help the oozing discharge out.Also add in some anti inflammatory pill after her breakfast/lunch.This will reduce the headache and the lump.Hope she recovers soon.
I find this answer helpful
