Swollen and red eye

Question

Swollen and red eye

Asked for Female, 37 Years

Lower lid of one of my eyes is swollen and has been paining for several days,now. Today the swelling has intensified. When I checked inside the lower lid there seems to be a swelling inside and its blood shot red and very painful. The pain has been growing for the last few days with constant nagging irritation. I always wear sunglasses while stepping outside as a habit. This should restrict dust particles from entering the eye. Don't know what it is or why it happened.
