swollen sore eyes

two weeks ago I had sore swollen eyes.  I purchased alergy meds over counter and it seemed to go away.  

I thought at the time it might also caused by my eyeliner so I purchased non-allergenic line.  I used this past weekend and eye lids are very sore and swollen.  Went back on alergy medicine.  I put liner on bottom of eye to test and see if it was liner, but nothing happened so I assume not.  Why is this coming back and what do I do.  Thanks.

Most common cause would be an infected gland in the lid (stye) or a blocked oil gland (chalazion) you can start treatment for both by useing warm, moist compresses for 5 minutes ever couple of hours. and getting some Occusfot lid cleaner or TheraTears SteriLid lid cleaner, over the counter and foam cleaning you lids daily as directed.

If it gets a lot worse see an Eye MD. Find one at www.aao.org

My bottom left eyelid has been swollen for 3 or 4 days. I just woke up with it. This has happened to me a couple times before but only for a couple minutes. It went away by itself. But this one has not yet. Any advice doctor? Have any idea what it might be? Anything will help please. I'm too scared to go to a doctor though.
