My right eye has felt sore for two days. Regular eye drops give me burning/discomfort when I used it. There is no visible swelling or redness in the eye but I do have a right-sided headache. What could be causing this? Can migraine cause sore eye?

Woke up yesterday with eyelid swelling. Its a bit painful and red. No redness or junk in my eye when I woke up yesterday or today. Not sure if its a spider bite or a stye?
