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.

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.
Go to www.aao.org find an Eye MD ophthalmologist near you and go in for an exam.
