Lower eyelid swelling up a little bit and it hurts. started while on the train during daily commute - may have picked up infection and touched eye ?

Sty?: If lid only and the eyeball is not involved, the most common cause of your symptoms is a sty. Hot compresses for ten minutes then squeezing might relieve it. If the eye is involved, discharge is coming form eye, or heat and squeezing fails, you need to see an eye MD
