Eye swelling
I’ve been having swollen eyes since a month. It is happening in such a way that when 1 part becomes fine, the other part of the eyelid becomes swollen and this phase is unstoppable and happens either the upper or lower eyelid of both the eyes. While recovering, it releases a small amount of pus and then clear up quite quickly. This is also very painful. I am cleaning the swollen part with hot water two times a day but the problem is still persisting. Please help

It's persistent/recurrent meibomeitis. You will have to take local and oral antibiotic for a little longer period.
