Ok.
Here's what happened. Something happened to her (I don't know what and the vet doesn't know) and she got a boil under her eyelid.

It looked like that, but got progressively worse to the point where her eye was completely swollen shut. I took her to the vet the day after that picture and he gave me some antibiotics to put in her eye. (Terramycin) When it started getting worse, I took her back to the vet the next day and he gave me a Steroid because he thought it was an allergic reaction.
Yeah well........
She popped it yesterday. Puss oozed out the whole 9 yards.
Well, she's a cat. She's been scratching it. She looks like she got shot in the face now.

She's actually pretty happy now that she popped it, despite how the pictures look. The anti-biotic the vet gave me was meant to put directly in her eye. But, I've been rubbing it on the wound itself tonight since it's all I got.
I just don't know what to do. She's 11yrs old that I know of (I found her as a stray) and she's my baby. She'll be going back to the vet in the morning, but what do I do now?
Can I do anything?
I have been patting it down with a warm wet cloth as well.
It's pretty deep and it's not scabbing over. The center looks like she got shot with a BB Gun.
It's pretty bad.
