Avatar f tn it looks fine, the sore itself, however my eye lid is swollen to almost shut. very painful and annoying, do you have any suggestions that can relieve a swollen eye lid?

Avatar m tn My husband has a swollen eye lid. It is red and it hurts and it is almost is wollen shut. It doe snot itch and there is nothing in his eye. I don't know what to do?
Avatar f tn Felt like something was irritated at the base of my eyelashes. Woke up yesterday morning with a swollen eye lid. Still swollen today and eye lid is red. I was thinking that it might be a stye but there is no little bump anywhere on my eyelid. I have been applying warm compresses throughout the day. Think this is a stye forming or something else? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
Avatar f tn Please help ... Eye lid is driving me crazy!!!! Itchy, swollen, red eye lid comes goes away and comes back. I went to the opthamologist and he prescribed me drops and told me it was an eye allergy. At first my upper right eye lid was very dry and flaky with no itching. Then it gradually started to swell up, turn red, dry up and itch like crazy. I've never had this issue and its lasted a month already! I am not allergic to anything and have been using the same make up as I always have.
Avatar m tn Every so often I get very swollen upper and lower eyelids and my eye goes bright red. It is always the left eye. I have had one opthamologist treat me for Herpes Keratitis while another for chronic blepharitis (I do have seborrhheic dermatitis). What can I do to head off these attacks? I do warm compresses and lid scrubs, but can I use steroids like Tobradex when I fell an attack coming on? Often they seem to be preceded by a stye. I'm suffering through one now and very anxious.
Avatar n tn 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 ?
Avatar f tn Can anyone help? My left tear duct is swollen and red, and so is the eye lid.
Avatar n tn But after discontinuing the drops, everything went back to red. I also started to get severe eye aches/headaches from what I believe was the lid massages. As of now I have stopped the warm compresses and lid massages and only use the OcuSoft pads at night before bed. I’m still puffy and somewhat red but this seems to be the best I can do. I’ve read numerous forums on people experiencing the same or similar issues with their eyes/eyelids.
Avatar f tn It seemed that just the inner part (toward the nose) of the eyelid was red and swollen but the skin above my eyelid has also drooped over my lid. The redness is gone and although my eye still feels like something is not quite right and the lid is a little more dry than normal, it looks all better except for that drooping skin. Is that due to swelling? Will it get better? I am only 24, so I don't think that skin should be drooping already (& on just one eye).
Avatar f tn On Saturday around 4-ish my eye started hurting a little so I just rested the rest of the day. When I woke up on Sunday, the top eyelid (only the inner half on it) was swollen and really hurt. Especially the part where your outer kid meets you inner lid (not sure what it's called, but it was that entire area). My inner caruncle itched really bad too. On Monday, my lower lid was swollen and my upper lid wasn't anymore. My inner caruncle was still swollen though.
Avatar n tn Hello, my upper lid of the left eye has been swollen for the past 2-3 years. I went to numerous eye doctors they all prescribed me eye drops from allergy, but the swelling never went away. Sometimes I don't feel like it is swollen, although it is, and sometimes I feel pressure on my eye. There is no bumps and my eye is not red. Is there anytihng you can suggest?

Avatar m tn A sudden onset of a droopy lid especially if the lid is not swollen, tender and red (stye) could be a sign of something serious. TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW. DO NOT IGNORE THIS. John C.
Avatar f tn 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 f tn I had a bout of crying one day, and the next day my eyelids were swollen and red also a little scaly travelling down slightly where you would have bags under your eyes.. this was in both lids, it hadnt gone completely, its up and down in redness and just when i thought it had gone, I went to the gym and the sweat on my eyelids flared it back up again the next day, it seems to sting with my sweat or tears....any ideas or help what i have?
Avatar n tn For the last week I've woken to a red swollen left eye{lid and under eye.} What can I put on my eye to relieve the itch and help the swelling? This must be some reaction to face wash or under eye cream but I'm confused because I haven't changed products.
Avatar f tn I decided to just leave it be after that and went back to bed. When I woke up in the morning my eye was almost swollen shut. It is mostly my upper eye lid but the lower lid is also puffy down where you usually have "bags" under your eyes. Is this something I need to see a doctor about???
Avatar m tn If its on the lid you can try warm compresses and clean the lids with Occusoft Foam Eyelid cleaner or TheraTears SteriLId eyelid cleaner.

Avatar f tn Then this red patch under my left eye got better but it moved closer to the eye and now I have a swollen lower eye lid which is not burning or itching a lot but it feels a little painful and uncomfortable like it was damaged or something. I have been to ophtalmologist but she found nothing prescribing me allergy drops (do not help, even worse) and Alrex steroid eye drops(not sure if it helps).
Avatar n tn Is it only the lid? You could put a cold compress on the LID. When somethng like this happens you can also call the poison control center 24 hours a day. The doctor will review this post. I am not a doctor?
Avatar m tn If she has something under her eye lid it could be scratching her eye and this could be dangerous leading to an eye infection. Med Centers are open on the week ends. Just look in your phone book or call your local hospital and they can tell you where one is.
