Name changed as I'm going to post a picture and I have spoken to people in RL about it.
My daughter had has a problem with her eye for just over 2 weeks. Prior to that she was complaining of pain in her eyebrow but she can be a bit of a drama llama so I didnt think anything of it.
2 weeks ago her eye was swollen when she woke up. I took her to eye casualty as it was painful and she was diagnosed with a cyst on a tear duct and given antibiotic eye drops. Told to return in 2 days if the pain hadn't gone. It hadn't so we went back and were given an examination by a Dr who said he couldn't see anything and to stop the drops and leave the eye alone (Friday). It was sore but not swollen for a couple of days, then on the Monday it started swelling again. I bathed it twice a day but that didnt help. Returned to eye casualty on Saturday and they said they thought it was an allergy and to treat it as such. She has had piriton 3x a day since saturday and eye drops recommended by thr pharmacist. This has had no effect, and now the eye is even more painful. She had a routine optician appointment today (she wears glasses) and they looked at the lid of her eye and she was squealing when they were touching it. They said to go back to wye casualty and gave me a letter, went back and no Dr there so saw a nurse consultant who said she also thought it was an allergy but to come back at 9am.
DD says the pain feels like when you get a splinter, and the pain is around the upper eyelid. She says it hurts more now than it did when it started.
We have tried loads of things, including warm compresses , special foam to cleanse the eyelid, drops and bathibg it with cooled boiled water and nothing has helped. Its always more swollen in the morning.
