A red ant was stuck half on my upper eyelid and half inside my eye. i removed it but now my eyelid and inside part of eyelid is swollen. and little pain. and found white sticky discharge from that eye. is it dangerous?

See ophthalmologist asap as this seems to be an infection or allergic response from the red ant. In the interim, continue to cleanse the eye with cold water.
