Suggest Treatment For Swollen Eye And Lymph Node Behind Ear

I have an acne cyst on my left temple, and tried to pop it which only succeeded in making it bigger. I had minor swelling around the area yesterday, and today my entire left eye is swollen almost shut. I also noticed that my left lymph node behind my ear is swollen.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having swollen eye with enlarged lymph node behind the ear.
This indicates inflammatory condition of the eye. The treatment is by use of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs. Use of hot compression provides symptomatic relief.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
