Sore and swollen near left eye tear duct
There is irritation and swolleness near "left eye tear duct". Since yesterday after touching my eyes I am experiencing this problem.The tap water that comes to my house is also not clean, so after the bath there was some irritation in the eye, which makes me touch it frequently and this morning when I woke up, I am experiencing this soreness in eyes which seems like a boiled structure. I am also experiencing irritation and dryness on the surface of the sore.

It looks like a stye which is swelling of glands associated with the eyelashes. Give warm compresses for 5 to 10 min two to three times per day. You could also apply optithrocin eye oint twice a day for 1 week. if there is pain you can take a brufen 400mg after food ONLY if you do not have any allergy to medicines.
For your age and height your BMI is 30 which is upper limit of overweight, please check your blood sugar levels or HbA1c especially if this is not the first time the swelling has occurred.
Health Tips

Hello,
What your having is the beginning of an infection, (stye).Do not keep touching your eyes. Start by using ocupol ointment at night before sleep. And during the day time use lubricant eyedrops available over the counter. Reduce screen time , take breaks in between.
Next Steps
if the swelling gets bigger,with pus point and all,you will have to do an online consultation, and start on oral antibiotics too
Health Tips
Good hand hygiene.
Consult if it gets bigger.
