Why are the ears/cheeks so swollen? the eyes are also not wide open

How does her breath smell? If there is a nasty odour it would hint to infectious coryza.

I can see in this picture that she has bubbly eyes (possible MG infection) and in addition there seem to be some kind of stick tight fleas or mites around her eyes that should be taken care of as well.

MG infections = mycoplasma gallisepticum: https://www.merckvetmanual.com/SearchResults?query=mycoplasma+gallisepticum

To remove the mites/fleas you could treat her with a proper insecticide, Ivermectin can be used on chickens.
The coop should be treated as well to prevent recurrent infestation.
check for mites in the dark as they hide in the crevices and only come out at night to suck the blood of the chickens which leads to anaemia and other infections transmitted by the mites. It can even kill chickens within a few days if the infestation is heavy.

Tylosin will not work for a mite infestation as it is an antibiotic and not insecticide.

Your hen might be very anaemic already if you did not take care of the mite infestation.

If she does not make it, you could send her in for a necropsy to know what exactly you are dealing with, as I remember only a short time ago you had some other hens getting very ill that died shortly after you posted here on BYC.
