Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having ingrown eyelashes and it is called as trichiasis.
The symptoms of swelling and pain indicate infection and this requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs.
Along with this treatment for trichiasis is required by mechanical epilation or laser photo coagulation.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
