What's wrong with my eye?
Hello, amateur (and professional) doctors.
 My left eyelid (this pic is mirrored) is swollen underneath my eye. My cheekbone feels kind of sore, maybe like I got punched, but not very hard. It doesn't hurt bad, but it's really annoying. No liquid or anything coming out of my eye. Do I have an infected tear duct or something? I don't know if I can get to a doctor today, and it's just annoying and kinda ugly. Any guesses? Thanks

Since having kids, I have had several eye infections. One with symptoms like you describe. Stuff the kids pick up at daycare and bring home.
My advice if you can't get to a doc? Call your friends with kids. They'll have a tube of the pink eye medicine in a drawer from last time they had it. Probably it will clear up in 12 hours once treated. Note, I am not a doctor. That's just what I would do if I were in your situation. I hate that infected eye feeling. I'm sure others will chime in about the dangers of using somebody's prescription without a doc. Flame suit on.  Good luck.

Fixed it; I just tossed a leech on it for about 20 minutes.

I have no good advice. However, I do have a tendency to squeeze infected areas on my own body and see what comes out. Probably better than a leech.

Blocked oil gland (stye)? Had one a few years back, hurt pretty bad for a few days.

Do you wear contacts? If so, I'd suggest not wearing them until it goes away.

g/f (optometrist) says "Prob some clogged tear glands that could turn into a stye...hard to tell from the pic and description alone, bit would be my best guess. Can try hot compress and gentle massage over closed eyes two to four times a day to feel better."

Sinus infection?...try using a netti-pot with 1/2 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide. It works for me.
