All of a sudden (within past 4 hours) i have this pain in the outer edge of my eyelid. what is this and how to i make it go away?

Stye: Sounds like an irritation -- an infection could be evolving. Apply warm then cold compresses, alternating every 10-15 minutes. Cold will reduce discomfort. Warm will accelerate resolution if infection is evolving. You may require Rx antibiotic eye ointment.
