We have tried to put eye drops on her, but they are still swollen. The first day she was laying down all the time and twitching her eyes. The next few days she is in her normal self, except for her eyes. Is she sick, contagious to the other dog and us? Please help us to cure her. Thank you.

Until you can get to a vet you should bathe her eyes with cooled boiled water with a little salt dissolved in it. This will keep them clean and help with any infection that is there.
You really need to get her checked by a vet though, they will give you a medication that is suitable for her.

No. Please do not put anything in the dogs eye that is not approved by your vet. You really should seek help to figure out why they are swollen. Sometimes dog eyelashes curve under and actually rub against the eye. This may not be the case for your dog but it is an example of the type of problems that are possible. Since you probably can't get into a vet today. Keep the dog comfortable until you call for an appointment tomorrow. You might try holding a warm(not hot) washcloth over the eyes to help soothe them.
