While feeding last night I touched its eye; it has been blinking and tearing since, no swelling but the eye is less open than the other; droppings and eating are normal. Does it need medication?

Hello. Based on your description, the parrot most likely has keratitis. In this case, move the parrot to a dimly lit area to avoid strong light irritating its eye.
At the same time, carefully check the eye for foreign objects and remove them if found. Then rinse the eye repeatedly with saline or warm water, and finally apply antibiotic eye drops into the eye. The bird should generally recover well.
