Hello
It seems from the history that you are having inflammatory swelling involving the upper eyelid. It is commonly called as boil or hordeolum.
The treatment of the condition is by using oral anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotic eye drops or eye ointments.
Application of hot compress to the swelling provides symptomatic relief.
Thank you
