Avatar n tn And be easy to put together. Even though this could be unrelated to allergies. Get on google and type in swollen eyes. And by all means don't strain them for hours. This may make them worse. Not sure. And putting icepacks on them frequently can help with the swelling. Also this may be something your body was fighting off okay but a recent drug has lowered/supressed your immune. Sometimes a drug does this only initially, and then adapts.

Avatar f tn Hello, I was hoping to find out if it is normal to have stringy discharge in your eyes if you have allergies. I have had seasonal allergies since I was 9, I am now 43. The junk in my eye that I can pull out which is ewww and irritating, it's there when my allergies are bad, and even when I'm not dealing with allergies, it's just a lot more when my eyes are irritated, swollen, and hurting. What can be done for a remedy.
Avatar f tn t hear out of that ear, eyes is almost swollen shut and fluid is built up and daring out of my eye. Anyone think I should be concerned?
Avatar f tn About 2 weeks ago, my eyes started itching severely and I just assumed it was pollen allergies. Then one morning I woke up with my eyes swollen shut and red. I used a washcloth compress to get the swelling down and the eyes continued to be red and swollen and itchy and I noticed little blisters kind of like what I get when I wear cheap jewelry and get a chemical reaction from the metal. I have tried some Zatidor eyedrops-antihistime twice daily.
Avatar f tn Hi. I'm no doc, but sounds like allergies. Have you tried an antihistimene? I know my eyes get itchy due to allergies - it comes and goes and never amounts to anything. Just annoying. And I'm not dx with any allergies - i just know I have seasonal due to the way my body acts. Good luck .
Avatar n tn The provider told me it was a bug bite and prescribed me benedryl. Well just when I thought all was fine two day later I wake up to both eyes swollen shut. Again I immediately put ice on it and go to the hospital. New provider prescribes me more benedryl and an antibiotic ointment and tells me that it is eczema. Next day I wake up to my eyes with a bright red rash on them and swollen more than the day before. Again on goes the ice and back to the hospital.
Avatar f tn For the last week my eyes have been swollen both top and bottom when i wake up, but through out the day it goes down a bit and then occurs again when i wake up in the morning. i was wondering what could be going on ?
Avatar f tn He is not complaining of it, but it’s been over a week. It almost looks a little swollen. Could he have an eyelash stuck in it? At what point do we seek intervention? Wouldn’t it be both eyes if it were an allergy? He does often stick his finger there and rubs it, and I remind him not to do this when I catch him, but I’m not sure how to proceed.
Avatar n tn My Pom seems to have like a thin mucas type of substance that appears over her eyes. When I try to get it out, she has a fit. It is like when our children has a "cold" in their eyes and their eyes would mat shut. Hers do not mat shut but she sits with her eye close and she does not open it to see. After I have clear away this material she is alright for a while but then it appears again. Any help?

Avatar n tn Mountain cedar is making me miserable, went to Dr today, gave me z pack for ear infection. But my nasal passages are swollen shut & can only breathe through mouth. I can only use saline drops & they don't really work. Anyone else suffering? Any remedies would be appreciated!
Avatar f tn ve got an upcoming appointment with the allergist, but I really believe something else is going on (I also frequently develop hives around the puffy eyes).Most mornings I wake up with my eyes almost swollen shut. I now have a patch of eczema under one eye. I tried special products, control creams, cortisone (in small amounts-I have to be careful since it is around my eye), vaseline...the list goes on. If anyone has any ideas, I'd welcome them!

Avatar m tn What would cause severe (almost swollen shut) eyelid swelling in the morning (uponn waking) - the eyelid skin is stretched and once the edema is gone, they skin is very red and painful. We have pretty much ruled out allergies. Of note, is a head trauma sustained 1.5 years ago (back of head hit pavement twice) - am still undergoing various treatments to relieve pressure in head - could manipulation of the nerves in the back of my head/neck cause eyelids to swell? Any help is very welcomed.
Avatar f tn Likely the result of dry eyes and possibly allergies. Other causes like conjuctivits or keratitis could also contribute. You definitely need to see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible. Try artificial tears in the meantime.
Avatar m tn I am having the exact same thing happen to me! I live in PA so thought it was allergies from weeding. Even though I've never had allergies before. It's now been a month. I've been on 2 different steroids that worked but as soon as I went off them spots came back. And it went completely away went I went down to NJ beach for 3 days. But after 2 days of being home all symptoms were back. I too have lived in my house for 9 yrs now and never had anything like this happen.

5449245 tn?1368135459 I've had hypothyroidism for the last 17 years, and about 2 years ago, the skin between my eyebrows and eyelids became swollen. My doctor says it's from allergies, but I only have seasonal allergies. I think it may be peri orbital edema. I've researched things about my thyroid for many years. I want to know if there is anything I can do to get rid of the puffiness. I also have type 2 diabetes. Any help is appreciated!
Avatar m tn I suffer from year round allergies and am allergic to cats and dogs but for the last couple of months my inner and outer eyes have been constantly itching me. When I do itch them, they would swell and by the morning become crusty on my upper and lower eyelids and leaves dark stains around them.
1232362 tn?1333135406 My kitties are strictly indoor but when the weather allows i open the birdie window for fresh air and they sit by it to watch the birdies so whatever's blowing around out there that might irritate them would blow right on it. I'll try keeping that window shut..I don't remember her getting allergies before, but I guess their bodies change over time, too. And we do plan to get her to vet for unrelated matter as soon as we have money-thanks for the advice & info!
Avatar f tn Well, you just really need to be evaluated -- likely by both an ENT doc and an allergist (some ENT people do both). You clearly have rather severe disease and may be a candidate for immunotherapy in addition to other, standard medications (steroid nasal sprays, antihistamines, antileukotrienes, simple saline nasal rinses). There may even be a role for some limited surgery to give you some more room for air and to enable medicines to have better access to where they need to go.
Avatar n tn I took your advise and went to the eye doc today. He dialated my eyes and did a color-blind test and a peripheral vision test. I past both. My right eye showed vision loss, and decreased brightness. It seemed a light bulb was turned off when I only used my right eye to see the color test and the bulb came on when I only used my left eye. I see the doc again on friday. In the mean time, he has me taking suafed and Ibuprofen.
