Hi everyone!
This is my second post here. My last post was about my chick who was very sick. He couldn't make it and left his friend alone with us.
The chick that we have now is a small little baby who was super active till yesterday. He would run around the house, jump over stuff and when tired, would climb up my shoulder and have a nap.
It was yesterday we felt he wasn't as active as before but was still walking around catching flies and bugs. Today, since morning, he is only sleeping. Either balled up in a corner of his cage or inside his sleeping box. Not eating or drinking anything even.
I felt his face was kind of swelling up a bit. But the swelling around his eyes is quiet prominent now. Also note his lower side of the face, the chin area I may say, looks round. It wasn't like that till yesterday.
I have attached photos here.
Please help me save this little baby of mine. I have lost 3 in past weeks to diseases that I couldn't treat.
Also, please note that there is a partial lock-down here.

Please reply ASAP if you can help!

Someone please reply!
Our city is in partial lockdown, may go into a full lock down anytime. I have to save my baby!
 
I'm pretty much a total noob, so take this with a grain of salt, but we had a chick whose eyelids looked puffy and on one side it stuck together. I wiped his eyes with clean, damp cloths for a couple of days and it cleared up.
A Google search brought me to BYC posts about a couple of antibiotics, you could check and see if it's something you have on hand, or yogurt to help with the infection (sounds like you feed it to her, not put it in her eyes).
Good luck!
