Question 3

2days ago i woke up with a bump on lower lid and redness on eyelid. now my under eye is swollen puffy and red. classic stye progression?

Yes: Given the timing of the symptoms, most likely it is a stye and not a chalazion.  Continue using wash compresses as much as possible.  It the pain or swelling worsens, then a topical or oral antibiotic may be required.

Question 4

Inflammation: Emotional tears contain a large amount of sodium, unlike the normal tear which is low in sodium.  The high salt content is irritating and can account for the red spots on her lid.  Use a washcloth soaked in cool water to counter the problem.
