eye swollen allergy

I wake up in the morning with the area around my left eye very swollen. And my eye is slightly "teary". I've been told by and eye doctor that I have allergy eyes, but I've tried allergy meds. and they do not seem to help. And why is it only my left eye? The swelling goes down a little during the day, but settles in a bag and my eye. It looks awful.

If you are not feverish and in pain you could try cold compresses and oral antihistamines and maybe some allergy eye drops like Zaditor or Visine allergy eye formula.

Hi, My 18 month old son when was at home after having the food started itching both eyes. After few minute we saw that both his eye lids are swollen.There is no red-eye, but eye lid is swollen. It is bit itchy, but my son is playful and not crying. The food he had was the banana yogut, which he does have it. We did go out to park yesterday evening, but he got this eye swelling only today evening. Can you please guide me what this could be related to and can we take some eye drops ?

They also get really itchy, but i use allergy eye drops to help that. However, my eyes still continue to get swollen and dry. I am currently taking Allegra-D and Singulair for my allergies. My doctor had prescribed me to Pata-a-Day Eye Drops as well, but they became too expensive and weren't working very well, so i switch to an over the counter brand. My medicine is obviously not working very great either. Does anyone know of an effective treatment that will help me with this? Thanks.

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?

However, my biggest problem now is having had very puffy eyes for the last week, no redness or itchiness, just swollen eyelids. I have seen 2 doctors, who have given me eye drops and Loratadine and then Fexofenadine, but nothing is helping. I'm getting to the end of my tether, please help!

I can't make a diagnosis from that description. If it is the eye that is swollen (over the white part) the problem is often "chemosis) and the most common cause is allergy. If its eyelids again the most common cause is allergy. Suggest you go in to your surgeon for an exam and Dx.

Today he woke up, with left side of his face swollen and eye almost swollen shut. Any recommendations. Please help. No insurance. Thank you.

I have tried so many eyes products for dry eye, allergy eye, etc….. I’ve been to 3 different opthalmologist for help and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

Maybe a biopsy of the swollen area. I still have to take an allergy test. Hopefully its an allergy and I can come to a closer with this problem. If I find out anything else I will post it.

My left eye is very swollen and it appears to be a blocked tear duck, However I have been to see two Opthamologist, eye doctor, and Allergy doctor, and General Medicine doctor. No one has been able to figure this one out. It is at its worse i the Morning when I wake up. The eye lid is full of fluid, which looks like my tears . It drains slowly throughout the day and fills back up over night. I've taken antibiotics, Steroid drops, ointments . Nothing has worked.

Hi, welcome to the forum, swollen eye indicates allergic conjunctivitis or angioedema. You have a positive history of allergy. This can be complicated by bacterial or viral infection. Also swollen eyelids or face, esp. in early morning, are sign of kidney disorder. The renal disease (kidney) like nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis, and renal failure can cause such symptoms. You need to undergo urine analysis, renal function tests and radio imaging of the kidneys to rule out the cause.

Has anyone had a stubborn eyelid swelling in one eye for this long due to allergy? I do have crusting in my eye in the morning (very slight) but no discharge (only watery glob on my eye that can be blinked away and slight blurriness on that eye). thanks so much for your help.

I worn contacts sometimes, but when my vision got bad again I stopped using contacts. Since this summer, I noticed my left eye lid have been swollen. I have been told by my second doctor that that was because of allergies. She prescribed me anti-allergy drops but it didn't help. She also advised me warm presses, and it didn't help. However, now I switched back to the first doctor, she said that the swollen eye was due to the damage on my cornea.

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 ?

As the day goes by, the swollen and the headache goes away. Yesterday, I had a swollen eye after taken Motrin, and it got me to think if that can really be the cause of my swollen.

I have had swollen eye lids, top and bottom for 2 weeks. No discharge or pain, but my eyes are red. Dr. prescribed steroids and zpac for 5 days, but the symptoms are the same. I am not experiencing any allergy problem right now.

I woke up with my right eye swollen on 12/1 right under my eye. It has stayed swollen ever since. Sunday it was swollen shut but since then it just has stayed swollen just underneath my eye. It has become dry and itchy. No redness of the eye. I have not changed a thing. I have taken allergy meds, Benadryl, and Pepcid. Nothing seems to be touching it. At this point its just a nuisance. Any suggestions? Do i need to get to a doctor?

Not certain about the white bumps but red itchy eyes maybe allergy or pink eye(conjunctivitis ) He may need a med so it would be best to show the doctor .We also have an eye care forum on Med Help may have other ideas. check it out ..

If the eye has green discharge, you can use antibiotics (Polysporin eye drops or so). If the eye is itchy and swollen, could be allergy to something. Also check for foreign bodies under the upper eyelid.

ll swell it starts with a small lump under my eye them my nose seems to clog up and feel very stuffed and not a minute after i get the small bump both my eyes swell and stay swollen for two days no longer i dont know whats causing it, ive been to the allergist they first told me it was a milk allergy but milk doesnt cause your eyes to swell when you run then i was told it was exercise induced asthma but that alo has nothing to do with my eyes swelling, i dont know what to do i cant play sports o

09 my under eye became swollen like a balloon and my eyelids, top and bottom were swollen also. I went back to my Ophthamologist and gave me a good examination and many tests and said it was eye allergies and had nothing to do with the plugs. This continued on and off for about 4 months and he kept reassuring me it was allergies along with my dry eyes.

There are things other than cats to be allergic to. You can try warm compresses and an allergy eye drop like Alway or Zaditor. If it is an infection not usually a lot of itch but pus like discharge.

I had pink eye about 4 weeks ago and was given eye drops to use Sulfacetamide Sodium Ophthalmic Solution USP. Now my eye lids (the one that had pink eye is the worse) are swollen, pink and itch like HE**. They are crusty and burn, and I have wrinkles in the corner of my eyes and my lids seem to droop I also have a huge bag under the eye that had pink eye. I dont know what has happen to me can someone plese help?

I have had puffy,swollen eyelids for months-ever since the day after my gallbladder surgery months ago. I have tried to go weeks without makeup (it only got worse), I've cut out all sorts of foods in case it was an allergy, I'm taking allergy medication (Reactin, Allegra) and started also trying Benedryl. I've changed my detergent for laundry, soaps, hair products-everything.

I have a friend who has never had any known allergies, nothing strange has ever happened really, and he's quite healthy. We were watching a movie and when it was over I looked over and the area just below his right eye (but not on the eyelid) was swollen so much he couldn't look down. It was very squishy.. like one huge, tough blister.
