What Is The Cause For White Bumps Swelling Around The Eye?
My 4 year old nephew has white bumps that are sweeling around his eye and it is getting larger, to the point of where his eye is closing and he is crying. He has not ate or had anthing different this morning? What could it be, they look like sacs of a sort.

Hello
It seems from the history that your nephew is having multiple small bumps around the eye in the eyelids.
It is probably because of inflammatory swellings involving the glands of the eyelidslike hordeolum
The ttreatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops and compression. The predisposing causes are blepharitis or refractive error.
Hence this requires evaluation to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
