Day old chick with Irritated eyes, What to do?

[krieglee]

I have a day old chick with irritated eyes, it wont open them and when I wipe them with a warm face cloth they open slightly but are puffy. The chick tend to itch them a lot with feet and on back. I am assuming it is from dried egg residue since the chick was fine last night in the incubator but now is sleeping a lot and doesn't seem to know whats going on around it. After searching through past post I noticed some people suggesting Neosporin.

As you might have been able to tell I am inexperienced with only hatching eggs in an incubator a handful of times in the past 10 years. What are some recommendations to keep this little chick alive?

Additional info:
There are 4 chicks in total, one hatched two days ago and 3 hatched yesterday. The other chicks seem to be fine.
They are now in a broody box.
I do not have neosporin but I do have polysorin.

I wouldn't put anything like that around it's eyes. I had a chick last year with a runny, sometimes crusted shut eye. And she scratched at her eye a lot. I suspected she scratched at it to get it opened but it caused the area around the eye to be swollen. The vet gave me some eye drops which kept the eye from crusting shut but the problem hasn't gone away. My hen is now over a year old and her eye is still runny. Other than that, she is a perfectly normal hen and has given me normal babies this spring.
