If you're talking about a duckling, the best way to help him is to take a Q-tip and dip it in warm water. Gently swab the eyelid, making sure to just brush it lightly. Do this a few times a day until he can keep them open on his own.

What should you do your eye is swollen?

That depends on the reason for the swelling. If you were punched in the eye and it is swollen a little, put something cold over it (if it's ice or frozen, please wrap in a towel to protect the skin) for 15 - 20 minutes to help keep the swelling down. If your eye is swollen because of a sty ( a plugged duct in the eye) then a warm compress may help, but if it continues to swell and get more red, it might need treatment with antibiotics. If your eye is swollen and there's drainage and you don't know why, better to see a doctor or nurse practitioner to make sure it isn't something that could damage your sight.
