What Causes Swollen Upper/lower Eyelid?

My upper eye lid has been swollen since Monday. Started off with just a small red area on my upper eyelid. Then I noticed a little dot where my lashes are. It looked like it was getting better by Wednesday but Thursday I woke up with my lid very swollen. I started to use a warm cloth every other hr till today. And swelling has gone down to we re it looks almost back to normal. But I just looked in the mirror and now my lower lid is starting to swell. Should I keep up with the warm cloth? I m not sure what to do. I go back to work from maternity leave in a couple weeks and want this resolved before I go back
