swollen

Avatar n tn For about a week now my eyelids are swollen and also the skin under ny brows is swollen. It feels very tight and one ey look half opened. What can I do ?
Avatar f tn Today I woke up with a slight pain on my eyelid and noticed it was red and swollen, this has never happened before, please help!
Avatar f tn The only eyelashes that I ever pull out are a few that grow into my eye at the corner of my eye lids closesy to my nose. The rest twitch and itch and fall out, and my eyelids are about three times more swollen then they use to be.... I also have issues with feeling like I have foriegn objects in my eyes and little white cysts around where my eyelashes come out of my eyelids.
Avatar f tn I popped part of the pimple on my eyelid and it has lessen on the swollen part, but there is another pimple like bump on my eyelid. I'm hoping to be able to pop it also due to the pain of it. Is this healthy or right way to treat it?
Avatar n tn So almost 2 weeks ago now, I woke up with my right upper eyelid (only) so swollen that my eyebrow looked like I just had an overdone face lift on one side of my face. I tried putting cold compress on it, no change, as the day progressed swelling decreased, but not completely. Next day same thing, took some Actifed and rested for a few hours. This seemed to make the swelling go down quite a bit.
Avatar m tn Hi John, I went to my local GP (from england here) and he said my eyelid is swollen, He asked me all these questions and I said no (e.g. Is it itchy, is it painful etc) He gave me these Pills that I should take once a day and go back to him if it isnt better in 3/4days.
Avatar f tn If your eyelid problem is due to inflammation or infection you will need to see an ophthalmologist for treatment. If it is due to the effects of age then you will need to see a plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon.
Avatar f tn If it came up quickly, is somewhat red and tender then a stye is the most likely cause. Home treatment would be limited to warm compresses and cleaning lid with an lid cleaner like Ocusoft Plus Foam Lid Cleaner. If gets worse see your MD or eye MD for diagnosis and treatment. If it came up slow, is not red or tender could be a chalazion. Same treatment.
Avatar n tn Im just confused because although I wake up with a swollen eyelid there is no pain and no itching. Would an allergic reaction to something cause upper eyelid swelling?
Avatar f tn I mean when I flip it there a little white bump
Avatar f tn I started using the medication she prescribed, and my vision have been better. However, my eye is still swollen. What could be the cause of my swollen eye and would it go away? I have been using the steroid drops for a month now. Thanks so much!
Avatar f tn m assuming you do not wear contact lens. the most common cause of this is an infected or inflammed eyelid gland. Home treatment would consist of warm compresses (can use hot wash cloth but reusable eye pad heated in microwave is better, artifical tears and clean the edge of your lid with ocusoft plus lid cleaning pads or ocusoft plus platinum. These are over the counter and do not require RX. Most major drug stores have them come in foam cleaner also see link http://www.amazon.
Avatar f tn This has happened for over a month now. It alternates between both the left and right eye, top or bottom eyelid, and sometimes even both. There is no pain, and the swelling is normally reduced after using a cold compress... I have not noticed any patterns as to when the swelling occurs, and went weeks without makeup to see if that would help (if it was an allergic reaction.) Nothing seems to be effective, what could be the problem?
Avatar f tn I have had a very swollen left eyelid for about a month now that droops very heavy and also swelling on my lower kid as well. I was diagnosed about two weeks ago and have been on Pred Forte drops since. How long does it usually take for them to work? Also, how often is it that the eyelid stays swollen?? I am worried it won’t go back to normal since it’s been so long.
Avatar f tn If i worry about it, the swelling increases and takes over my entire eyelid. I take phenergan which knocks me out and sleep it off or another antihistamine. It usually goes within a couple of hours but for swelling of my whole eyelid usually takes a day until the puffiness has gone. I have a cough at the moment and the doc says it is caused by asthma as the cough is dry and no cold symptoms or anything. I had the eye issue yesterday and he said that swelling of the eye area is caused by asthma.
Avatar f tn im 15 years old and my eyelid has been hurting alot on monday and tuesday when i woke up, i found out that my eyelid was slightly swollen and i checked to see inside my eyelid and saw a little pimple. I went to the doctor and she said it was a stye. she gave me ciloxan to put in my eye. i tried that twice last night and did the warm compresses. i woke up this morning, wed morning and found my eye to be more swollen and the pimple is still there.
Avatar n tn I was given antibiotic drops and I think I was on them for about a month and it made my swollen eyelid and the infection go away and I was back on contacts again.
Avatar f tn One time leads to little irritation (itchiness), but warm compress and cold compress get it over in a couple of day. In 2014, she woke up with a swollen eyelid (eye infection on eyelid)! Is the hormone at puberty a factor as she is producing more oil? How to prevent that from happening? Should I have her use diluted baby soap to wash her eyelids daily? Or some OTC eyelid wipes? Or warm compress twice a day?
Avatar f tn Hello - I have a swollen upper eyelid (for over one month now). My optometrist and medical dr. have advised this is some sort of allergy (I am allergic to mold, pollen and trees). I have been given allergy meds and steroid drops but with no success. Eye is less swollen in morning (looks normal) and then gets worse as I go through the day. Can an allergy cause only one eye to swell for this length of time?
Avatar f tn I felt pain around my eye for 2 days and then i woke up with my upper eyelid swollen to the point it covers my eye if I relax my eyes.It has happened before a few times.Is it some kind of allergy or something more serious like an infection?
Avatar n tn My bottom left eyelid has been swollen for 3 or 4 days. I just woke up with it. This has happened to me a couple times before but only for a couple minutes. It went away by itself. But this one has not yet. Any advice doctor? Have any idea what it might be? Anything will help please. I'm too scared to go to a doctor though.
Avatar n tn Later that night when looking in the mirror I noticed my left eyelid was getting red and puffy. Its two days later and my eyelid is now very swollen and if it gets any more swollen I will not be able to open my eye. I now also have a headache to go with it but I haven't detected a fever. I wear contacts but have not worn them in almost a week, instead I wear my glasses. I have had surgery on my left sinus passage which damaged the tear duct in my left eye. What should I do?
Avatar n tn I woke up 2 days ago with a sore eye/eyelid and it's tender to touch. The eyelid itself is a bit swollen, but other than that no specific symptoms. Any insight as to what may be going on? The most common result I see is stye, but I don't have a pimple or bump of any kind.
