Eye won’t open

Hi I’m new here My daughter gave my a 3 yrs old female bearded dragon. I noticed 3 days ago her eye won’t open. I got it open a lil bit with a q tip and got something out of her eye. Could of been a piece of dirt i don’t. However after that her eye was a little runny with blood and she still can’t open it. She became very lethargic and dehydrated after that . I have use the reptile turtle drops and they didn’t help. I can’t afford a vet I don’t want her to die or be in pain. I believe it’s infected. If anyone can help me I’m willing to try anything at this point. I love her now. And I want her to be healthy again Thanks so much

Please get some regular saline no contact lens stuff rinse the eye the apply some raw unfiltered honey- if it's infected it will kill the infection please NO crickets in the tank - please get rid of the loose substrate if your using that- you can get some textured NON adhesive shelf liner cut to the size if the tank-- next the cause could be your uvb and or basking bulb-- please tell what your using brand and bulb of both NO colored bulbs please
