Tylosin or Tylan, oxytetracycline, or erythromycin, all antibiotics for treatment of a respiratory disease such as MG or coryza, would come from a local vet in the UK. Do you notice a bad odor from the face? Separate this chickens from your others since respiratory diseases are very contagious, and can make carriers of a flock. Secondary infections such as E.coli and others can complicate a swollen sinus around the eye. Your vet could prescribe both eye drops/ointment and antibiotics given orally or by an injection. Clean the eye with normal saline, and try to clean out the purulent drainage (pus.) Tweezers, QTips, or manicure instruments may be necssary. Here are some links to read:
