You most probably have a stye. It will resolve with hot fomentation, oral antibiotics and pain killers. You have to get evaluated by an ophthalmologist as to why this problem is recurring. Common causes which cause recurrence are poor lid hygeine, uncorrected refractive error, diabetes.
Next Steps
Consult an Ophthalmologist to rule out these causes. The doctor will show u how to keep clean dirt and dandruff particles from your lid margin. Get your refraction done and wear prescription glasses if you are advised to do so.
