Still trying to figure out what is wrong with this hen. I have had her on tylosin for 3 days and am still putting eye ointment on but her eye seems to be doing worse. She is still acting normal but here eye is not looking great. Could conjunctivitis be a symptom of something else?

When I checked on my chickens this evening I noticed that my 6 month old hen Chanel had her right eye closed and that side of her face looked puffy. I checked her eye on the other side and that one seemed fine and looked normal. She did not have this when I last checked on them which was around...
