Do you have discharge? Pain in the eye or just discomfort in the eyelid? Difficulty tolerating light or decreased vision?

Okay, thanks for the information!
It's hard for me to determine exactly what you have, but I think I have a good idea of how to manage it.
For the next few days: Apply a warm (not lukewarm, hot) water compress, such as a clean wet towel, for at least 5-10 minutes to the affected eyelid. The compress may get cold quickly, so stay close to a source of warm water. Do this at least twice a day (3 to 4 times a day if possible). If you notice an improvement, continue until the next day when the situation disappears.
If the situation does not seem to be improving at all, or is even getting worse, you should consult an optometrist, if only as a precaution.

Okay, I'm going to do this earlier, I put a washcloth on for 5 minutes, it felt good, thank you, I have to do it until it goes away, and even the next day it does? At any time or always the same time?

The time of day doesn't matter, the important thing is the duration, the heat, and the frequency during the day (2 to 4 times)
