Could be a stye. I would recommend taking a warm wet wash cloth and place it on your eye for at least 10 minutes. Do this as often as you can during the day. You can also place the wet cloth in the microwave for a few seconds just make sure it isn't really hot before you place it on your eye. They also have over-the-counter salves for styes that will help with any itching.

Sounds like you may have conjunctivitis otherwise known as pink eye. The membrane around your eye is infected and that is what is probably causing it become swollen. It probably hurts bad also. You need to go to a doctor for this unfortunately. He/she will need to prescribe an antibiotic to rid your eye of the bacteria causing this. Also it could be something else, you could have something inbedded in your eyes or have another problem. Pink eye is quiet common so don't worry about it. But, go to your doctor and see what they say. Take care and good luck..

Go to your doctor without delay the sooner an infection is under control the easier it is to deal with. If you cannot make it to the GP go to a chemist and ask him/her to have a look and advise what is best to do. In between - bathing your eye in warm salt water can also be soothing. In the event that this is conjunctivitis please make sure you wash your hands before touching anyone or thing as it is quite contagious.
