Anyone know what I could do about an infection in my eyelid?. It's been this way for about two weeks and it's quite painful.

Blepharitis. Wash both eyelids with no tear, baby shampoo, daily. Warm/hot compresses. You may need antibiootic eye drops or eye ointment. I believe that OTC Boric Acid based eye washes may have some effect.
Hope this proves helpful.
Thank you.
You're welcome fren. Check link I sent in another post.
I have used this baby shampoo remedy when my children had blepharitis and it worked well. I think I also carefully used antibacterial ointment being very careful that it didn't get in the eye. Hot compresses do help.. That being said you could also have conjunctivitis. Look online to see the difference so you know exactly what you have. Colloidal silver is safe to use in the eyes in either condition and is anti-bacterial, etc. Natra-bio has a liquid homeopathy called Eye Irritation that I have made use of for many years. It treats all kinds of eye problems. I have also used peeled organic apple in a cheesecloth as a compress on the eye for conjunctivitis. In a pinch if you know anyone that is breastfeeding you can always use breast milk in your eyes or ears as it possesses ant-bacterial properties also. I know that seems far fetched but many breast-feeding moms know this. I am not a doctor or prescribing anything but I have personally successfully used the above remedies. Take care of your eyes and hope you get well soon.
Edit: the homeopathy is to be taken sublingually but there are OTC homeopathic eye drops.
Good points. Gave OP a link that listed some natural remedies. Warm black tea bag sounded promising. Big worry is infection such as bacterial conjunctivitis which would send me to the walk-in clinic for antibiotic ointment or drops.
Absolutely it is important to know what you are dealing with. Very important fact to have the appropriate treatment for the condition. The colloidal silver should be effective against a bacterial conjunctivitis but it is not known what resources are available. I always loved the discovery of being able to identify and name a condition and then treat it successfully. I have many reference books that I have spent years studying in the process of raising 5 children. It is like being a detective...lots of fun.
Thank you for the response. I think I will try silver and a tea bag since those are things I have here at the moment. I'll look into the Natra-bio tomorrow. I haven't been and won't go to my doctor since she is pressuring me about the shot. I don't trust any regular doctors now anyway. I know there's a chance of losing the sight in that eye but so be it I guess if the natural way doesn't work. I trust only God's medicines now.
You don’t have to go to your regular physician to be seen. Just go to an ophthalmologist. You can find one at any mall, or location where they check your eyes for glasses. Don’t be stupid and prideful and lose your eyesight when there are actual things that you can put into it to be well. I’ve had eye surgery on both of my eyes. When they did that, they gave me these eyedrops. One was an antibiotic and I can’t remember what the other one was. I’m sure you can find an ophthalmologist that’s not gonna pressure you to take the Covid vaccine. Besides that even if they do try to coerce you, can still say no, and they can provide you with the prescription for the eyedrops. It’s not that big of a deal.
Aren't there any other doctors you could go to if you are worried about losing sight in your eye??? If you choose not to go to a doctor please support your immune system...echinacea/goldenseal, internal colloidal silver, vitamin d/k, large doses vitamin C...just whatever you have to boost your immune system. Take care.
OK thank you for your help.
