Worried about baby chick :/

Ask your local pharmacist if they have an over the counter ointment for the eye.

We can get golden eye ointment, but anything with antibiotics needs to be on prescription from a vet or doctor.

Thank you @PotatoChip
  for helping.

@ChickenNewbie32
  remember only use the betadine topically - on the outside sore on her beak.  Don't add it to her drinking water.

If you can't find betadine, you can can try a triple antibiotic ointment (like Neosporin) on the beak sore.  Ask your local pharmacist if they have an over the counter ointment for the eye.

Sorry you are going through this, I've had dry pox sweep through all my chicks and flock for 2 months and its dreadful and still ongoing, some chicks really got it bad and others are now OK.
I spent christmas going through the thread below, but I suggest you click on the gallery photos in the top right corner, scan through them and compare to your chick then click on the post link for the photo.

I added antibiotics to water for a few days as on some chicks the pox was so pussy it looked like there was infection. Otherwise cracked pepper over their feed does seem to help and I kept putting a vitamin supplement with their chick feed (mostly fermented feed once antibiotics completed), dabbed a bit of diluted betadine every other day (too much and it kills good skin cells as well as bad, so I'm cautious plus I have a slightly stronger solution) also I gave scrambled egg and the odd bit of tinned sardine, put a little vitamin solution in the water.
It helped 2 of the worst cases, they're now crazy normal and out of my bathroom, but 2 others were just overwhelmed.

I recommend you put your recent photos on the end of that thread... some really experienced folks check that thread. It is what I did, now I know what am dealing with certainty.

Good advice @MasAhora

@ChickenNewbie32 it doesn't look like she is improving. It's hard to tell whether it's Wet Fowl Pox, Canker or some other issue. I would do as recommend by @MasAhora and post on the other thread as well. Add your photos there - also post some "profile" photos of her - it looks like possibly her wattles or underneath her beak is swollen as well(?), also add some photos of the eyes (the most current photos you have).
You may also want to add where you are located (Australia?) to let folks now that - some products recommended may not be available for you without prescription or called by a different name.
