Examination needed: There may be a blocked duct in the lid causing the swelling. Have your physician examine her for diagnosis and the proper treatment. If necessary he/ she may recommend an evaluation by an ophthalmologist. In the meantime try warm water applications. I don't recommend starting amoxicillin.
