What should I do about my kitten’s heavy eye discharge and eyes that won’t open?

What is this condition?
From the photo, the cat's signs may be from a wound infection or a fungal infection. Get a skin test at a vet to identify the type and treat it. If a visit is hard, clean the spot with saline, disinfect with iodine, and apply antibacterial medicine at home. Keep an Elizabethan collar on; if no improvement, see a vet.

After the fracture, other areas have gone down in swelling, but the fractured wound area has not yet subsided.
If you suspect a hamster fracture, take it for an X-ray to decide internal or external fixation. For mild cases at home, bind the area with a board and give oral anti-inflammatories, though deformity may result. Yunnan Baiyao spray can help reduce swelling.

I bathed it twice; now the skin is red, hair is falling out, and there’s some ulceration. Not sure if it’s from bathing without drying. I sprayed iodine and bought medicine but no improvement. No salty food given. What to do?
Poor drying after baths can cause bacterial, fungal, or mite skin disease; itching suggests allergic dermatitis. Always dry thoroughly, use an Elizabeth collar, and get a skin scrape at the vet.
