I have never seen an eye bulge like that.

 

Sounds like the baby has CRD or infectious Coryza.

 

I would try injectable Tylan and Terrimycin eye ointment for the eyes.  I assume it is isolated from the other birds?

 

I have never drained fluid from the face, but you might be able to use a syringe to aspirate some of the liquid from its jaw.  Leave the eye alone.
