Hello
Welcome to health care magic

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having painful swelling of the glands pf eyelids.
These symptoms indicates transient inflammatory swelling of the glands of eyelids.
The common causes are hordeolum.
This requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and prescription of drugs.


Hope this is helpful to you.
