10 year old has complained of sore eyelid for 2-3 days. looked for stye, but eyelid looks normal. says pain is only on inner top lid.

Normal appearing Eye: Your 10 year old is specifying a very pinpoint location for "soreness". With your close look, nothing is visible to the eye in that location. If he is otherwise well, no fever, no visual problems, I'd watch it a day. It is not unusual for the pain of a stye to develop before much is visible to the naked eye. It might take lifting the lid and looking underneath to visualize. Try Prime Visit!
