Thanks for your Question

If the swollen is associated with pain and redness then it is a stye and it should be improved with antibiotics. Sometimes you have to change the type of antibiotics that you are used.

If there is swollen with no pain or redness then most likely it is chalazion and antibiotics will add no advantage of it.

Chalazion should be removed surgically.
