Hi,
The swelling in front of the ear can be a reaction from the stye, basically, a lymph gland which is enlarged to fight the infection. It should subside in a few days as the stye is subsiding.
The clear or a bit cloudy mucus is most likely a viral infection or allergic. Some anti-allergic medicines can help. It can resolve spontaneously also. Overall, nothing much to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
