Looks like a stye or hordeolum of upper eyelid.
In this lockdown time, best would be to start with applying hot fomentation maybe 3 times a day for 1 week.
(You could use a cloth soaked in warm water to do this for 5 minutes at a time)
Also use antibiotic ointment maybe CIPLOX after applying the heat.
If pain is more, use Paracetamol 500mg tablets 2 times in a day for 3 days.
Next Steps
Do hot fomentation and antibiotic ointment for 1 week
Health Tips
If there is no improvement within 1 day, ask again
