Ulcer on inner eye lid

I woke up on Monday with a hard pea sized lump on my inner eye lid. Vision was a bit blurry and it hurt so o went to urgent care where they said it was either an ulcer or a blocked tear duct and gave me antibiotic eye drops, and said to put heat on it intermittently.
Neither of these things seem to have helped-if anything it looked worse yesterday. I work outside all day with sometimes volatile adults with MH issues, so i can’t practically do the heat compresses in the day, but have been doing before work and for much of the evenings. They said to go back in FOUR MONTHS if it hasn’t gone away on its own. It’s like having a big bit of glass in my eye and it obviously doesn’t look too great.
has anyone had experience of this? It’s doing my head in! I’m wondering if I can just pay to get it drained and removed?

Ooh I would go back that sounds like it needs another look. One person’s view might be different to another’s. It shouldn’t be that painful
