Hi, Ive been to the hospital twice now since the 1st of January for a very sudden red and swollen eye, been treated with different drops, 3 days ago I developed high fever and body aches and my eye continues to get worse and worse.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having swollen red eye with fever.
The large lump may indicate inflammatory swelling involving the gland of the eyelid like hordeolum internum or hordeolum externum.
The treatment is by using antibiotic eye drops or eye ointments along with anti-inflammatory drugs.
If the condition worsens with increasing pain and redness of eyes, preseptal cellulitis of the eye lid has to be ruled out.
Thank you
