Her eyes are not red, just watery plus discharge but her eyelids (top and bottom lid of right eye) are swollen and under her eye looks dark, like it's bruised. If it's not pinkeye, can anyone whose child or who themselves have experienced this please tell me how long I should expect it to last? And, is no treatment aside from keeping the eye clean and applying a warm compress is really adequate?

It will go away in a few days as long as you can keep your daughter from whipping her nose then rubbing her eyes.
It's very common in children to spread their cold into their eyes. Don't let it worry you.

If you haven't been to see an eye doctor, take her ASAP. A general family doctor is less experienced with eye problems and does not have adequate equipment to examine the eyes.
