Stye x5d was good then over the course of the day got really swollen. feels like sandpaper when i blink when i move my eye it hurts so bad i get nauseous and my eyeball is now all red hot compresses with baby shampoo no relief?

Stye: If you are using red hot compresses - that is way too hot for the eye & the delicate tissues surrounding it. Compresses should be warm. The shampoo could also cause irritation. At this point, it sounds like injury has occurred and medical assessment is warranted.
