General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The urinary tract infection requires treatment with oral antibiotics. If you have used antibiotics and the symptoms are still present then it is possible that the bacteria causing the infection was resistant to the antibiotics and you need another one.

The boil on the eye may also need treatment with warm compresses and topical antibiotics to the eye.
The inflammatory response to this boil would contribute to the swelling in the eye.

I hope this helps
