One of the best ways to break up mucous formation would be to drink plenty of water.  If that still doesnt do the trick i would suggest seeing a doc.

Flush the eye with LOTS of clear water -- for at least 15 minutes -- then head to the hospital.\n\nOh, and kick that SOB in the crotch as you go by.

Regular bathing, mild soap and water.  If I were you I would also go for a checkup with your doctor to make sure that there is no infection or worse.

Use the over the counter drug LYSINE ever day and avoid foods like Chocolate. Apply ice to the area. This will help the swelling.

*Pondering a bit* One of my ex girlfriends bounced between bacterial and yeast infections thanx to the doctors until she took matters into her own hands.\nShe used an apple cider vinegar douche (to relieve the itching) and drank acidophilus (good bacteria).\nhttp://altmedicine.about.com/od/healthconditionsqtoz/a/yeast_infection.htm\n\nSome recommendations For Wellness\n* Avoid all yeast containing foods: yeast breads, fermented beverages (beer, wine, brandy, scotch, etc.) moldy cheeses, fermented vinegars, salad dressing, peanuts, biscuits, canned citrus fruit juices, cake mix, ice cream, all dried fruit, oranges, pickles, tomato sauce, sugars, yeast powder, processed and smoked meats, malt products, barbecue sauce, olives, mayonnaise, and chili peppers.\n* Avoid sugar (especially hidden sugars such as those found in soft drinks, pastries, canned fruits and vegetables), artificial sweeteners, and all refined carbohydrates.\n* Rotate between at least 2 different anti-fungal herbs every 4 days to kill the candida yeast in the intestinal tract such as garlic and pau d' Arco, or try a yeast/anti-fungal combination including Yeast/Fungal Detox, Caprylic Acid Combo or Caprylimune.\n* For even greater effectiveness, try using a homeopathic remedy for Candida to help relieve symptoms and aid in the healing process.\n* Supplement with Acidophilus daily. This helps to reintroduce the good bacteria back into the intestinal tract(this works well as it is what my ex did).\n* Colostrum can also be used to help reserve the balance of intestinal flora and support the immune system.\n* Take 1 tablespoon of flax seed oil or omega 3 oil daily to improve healing and prevent the fungus from destroying cells.\n* Incorporate Echinacea to help strengthen the immune system.\n* Use a multivitamin & mineral complex with vitamin A to provide all the nutrients needed for proper immune function and for repair of the intestinal lining. Try to select a vitamin complex that includes zinc.\n* Treat any yeast or fungal infection that appears on the skin with tea tree oil.\nhttp://www.soulhealer.com/candida.htm

There is a sauve called Bag Balm. It will draw the infection out of just about anything. It is in a mostly green square tin. I swear by this stuff. Try it.

Take benadryl by mouth and apply cortisone cream on affected areas... if really bad, can see doctor to get prescription for medrol or prednisone

Place a warm, damp heat source on it.  That will help draw out the pus.  If it is leaking it is beginning to tract and come to the surface.\n\nOne of the best ways is to put a damp cloth in a plastic baggie and microwave for 15-20 seconds.  DO NOT BURN YOURSELF!!!\n\nOther items that help draw out infection are warm salt water soaks.\n\nIf you go to the DR you can get antibiotics or just let nature take its course.  If extended redness, heat, or streaking occurs go see a DR as the infection is spreading.\n\nHave a good one.

Don't put Neosporin in your mouth, it could be toxic to the stomach. If not could make you real ill. If you do happen to attempt this stunt and anything happens please call the poison control center. My advice would be this:\n\nTry sea salt soaks, and peroxide. I would hold off on Listerine because it has alcohol in it and might irritate it further. Salt should help bring the abscess out and take alot of the soreness away. The IB profin should keep it from getting really inflamed. Also if you can bear it, take a handful or a nice big pinch of salt, and put it directly on the sore! Leave it there for as long as you can stand it, then rinse with salt water or peroxide. (just careful not to swallow) It will most deff. bring the abscess in your mouth out quicker than if you just let it heal, it will probably take about a week or two to heal fully. If the abscess breaks be careful not to swallow any of the infection because it will make you sick and dizzy. Rinse well and maybe place a cotton swab over it (Depending on how bad it is) to keep the infection from running down your throat and you digesting some. GL with this, I've had abscessed teeth before, and it's no fun. You really need to see a Dentist if possible, but if this is out of the question...try the soaks and stuff and continue with the antibiotics and IB profin for pain. You'll get better soon, and if not seek medical attention ASAP! Best wishes

Rinse the affected area with salt water or don’t rinse it at all. Do not rinse the involved area of skin with fresh water, because it will further activate nematocysts and worsen the reaction. Apply acetic acid 5% (white vinegar). This will inactivate undischarged nematocysts and the toxin and will help to decrease symptoms. Use over-the-counter pain medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) to control pain symptoms. Immobilize the area that was poisoned to prevent further spread. Itching is usually treated with an antihistamine, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl). If a reaction is severe, you need to see a doctor for  topical corticosteroids and oral steroids (Prednisone).

Take Benadryl (by mouth) and apply hydrocortisone cream.  And next time stay away from the baby oil.

Pop them.\n\nActually, steralize a needle, clean the boil and lance it. Then put antibiotic ointment on it and keep it coveredc and it will heal like any other wound.

Lance it. \nGet a sharp needle, cover it in alcohol then poke it right on top just a little. Then the fluid will escape, with some encouragement, which reduces the swelling. It may weep for about ten minutes. When it drains, get some alcohol on it and maybe some ice. Once it stops seeping, you can add some Neosporin on it.\nIt works a lot faster than waiting for it to go away oin its own.  But don't poke too hard!

Try using a warm washcloth and soak the eye. Pretty much you're going to have to just wait it out and let it run it's course. but the warm water might help relieve some of the swelling and irritation. Good luck.

Antibiotics from a Doctor.\n\nAlso, Eucalyptus Oil in a air humidifier can help kill the virus.

Neither!  They will not touch it, and may actually make it worse.  There are meds you can get from your local pharmacist to get rid of it quickly.  Also eating yogurt with active bacteria will help to normalize your body.
