Go see a vet and find out.
depending on the infection most likely need antibiotics administered via injection. Eye may need to be flushed and/or drained, depending on how bad it is and what caused the infection in the first place. Hence, seeing a vet is quite important.

Yes, see a vet.
Eye infections often start in the mouth. Mouthrot or mouth infections make the small jump into the eye, and spread from there. You have to be sure WHAT you are treating, WHERE you are treating, and HOW to treat it.
See a vet for a full diagnosis, and the proper meds. Best of luck.

It totally depends on the infection -- what caused the infection, what kind of infection, or if it is an infection at all. Pics and a history would help.
