Hi,
Thanks, i've been using a hot compress and massaging it a few times a day, and the pain on contact is completely gone, but i can still feel the hard lump in the corner of my eye, so it still feels slightly swollen.
Dear Chris:
I would recommend that you get this checked. It may be an infection of the lacrimal sac and it is better to treat it. Until, you get a correct diagnosis, the other questions of seriousness cannot be addressed.
