Sleep makes it worse?

Had a stye that’s been swollen and painful since Monday and I’ve been doing everything I can. Doctor even prescribed erithromycin started using that yesterday. But it feels like by the end of the day when I’ve got the swelling to go down as much as possible, I then wake up the next morning and it’s a balloon again. Not to mention all the drainage to be wiped away in the morning. When the hell will this end?

Chalazion or Stye?

This is the worst of these that I’ve ever had. I attached pictures of the progression. Been doing warm compresses including salt water compress with cotton pad, today I added Ocusoft lid scrub wipes. It became most painful today, especially sore to touch (I’m not touching except to clean with lid wipes and massage warm compress). Like, super painful. Should I go to urgent care? I’m weary of going for them to just tell me what I already know, but I don’t know. I’ve never had a painful one like this.
