Hello
I appreciate your concern for your son
This could be Stye, if you can upload me a photograph I will be able to help you better
I would like to know since how long it is there?

You should take him to a doctor until it spreads further
He may require a course of antibiotics or anti inflammatory eye drops under supervision of your doctor
