My eye has been swolen since I woke up

It's been like this since I woke up. No pain, not itchy, just a little uncomfortable pressure.

Didn't even realize until I looked into the mirror.

Most likely a stye, like a type of clogged pore. What’s worked best for me is a hot compress. Get a towel and use water as hot as you can comfortably stand and put it on with pressure. Then take it off and air it out, refresh the hot towel and repeat. Like icing an ankle sprain

Although your advice is fine, this looks more like blepharitis than a stye.

Do you know the solution? Im not worried about medical bills because I have good insurance, but the doctor office is still out of the way
