“My eye is red and swollen?”
I have a red, swollen upper eyelid. It's tender to touch. I have constant pain but sharp pain when the eye moves to look around.

Could be allergy . Must be seen to diagnose properly
You have a developing stye that will turn into a bump, try a warm compress.
Looks like it might be a stye. You should do warm compresses and use artificial tears however, a complete ophthalmologic examination can help determine if you need additional treatment.
It could be preseptal cellulitis.
This appears to be a stye that is infected causing the redness and swelling, this usually requires antibiotics for treatment along with warm compresses. I would recommend seeing an eye doctor as soon as possible to get the proper treatment. In the meantime, highly recommend warm compresses using a clean washcloth with warm water, and gently messaging the eye as much as possible to decrease the swelling.
Probably infected. See an Ophthalmologist or ER doc.
Looks like a typical stye. Use a wash cloth under very warm (not hot) water applied five times per day for five minutes each time. This must be done as I have suggested. The lid should head towards normal in a few days, but if it is still the same or worse by Tuesday, then see your ophthalmologist.
You most likely have an infection. Please see an eye doctor ASAP
