Avatar f tn Yesterday when i woke up i noticed pain around my eye with pain whenever i would blink. I assumed the pain was because of pink eye but when i looked at my eye only my eyelid was red and swollen. It also looked like there was a bump. I then thought it was a stye but later realized the bump wasn't on the eyelash line. It's more in the middle of my eyelid. Whenever i read something online it says it's probably a chalazion but it also says chalazions arent painful but this is.
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.
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with dry eye I received drops, received instruction wipe the lid in the morning with the eyelid scrub wipe to prevent infection and use a warm compress and massage my eyelid just above my eyelashes. My eyes aren't tearing anymore and I wake up with the whites of my eye white and clear they aren't tearing anymore.
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 Before I went to bed last night my eyes were really red and when I woke up this morning my eyes were swollen on the top and bottom. What are some ways to make the swelling go down. I went to a heath center today and they gave me some Medicine and it is working but my eyes are still swollen. What are some other things that I can do to prevent the itching and make the swelling go down faster???
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 f tn My husband went to our GP a month ago with a swollen red eye and tremendous eye pain and the doctor said he had conjunctivitis. After a three day application of an antibiotic, his eye was no better. The GP referred him to an eye doctor who gave him another round of eye drops. A week later the pain was so bad that my husband had to take hydrocodone and still had no relief....the eye doctor gave him a 3rd antibiotic to apply for a week and the eye still did not improve.
Avatar f tn Hello, just today I found out that I had a small lump of blood beneath my upper left eyelid. I don't know if it's dangerous or not. A few weeks ago, both of my eyes were swollen and the left eye took on a dark spot near the corner of it, right where the small lump is now. This morning I found it weird that there was blood caked around my eyelid and a mucus like discharge that had blood in it. I think one of my blood vessels is possible blocked and swollen, but I'm not a professional.
Avatar n tn Again on the outside of the lid, not underneath. My eye does not itch, is only mildly red, and just a little bit swollen, my lower eyelid became very dry and flaky. I am a nurse and I asked a PA what he thought they were and he said styes. I don't know if I believe his diagnosis. I thought styes only developed around the inside of the eyelids? I have been treating my eye with Tobradex ointment, and massaging the ointment into my eyelids. Also, I have not been wearing any eye makeup.
Avatar f tn If it's neurological there shouldn't be any actual swelling of the eyelid involved, hmmm if the eyelid is swollen then it 'could' make the eyelid just look like it's drooping down, have you seen your GP about it yet? As aspen mentioned it could be an infection or even a reaction bug bite on the eyelid, if it's been a few days and it's still swollen it'd be worth getting your GP to check it out. Hope that helps....
Avatar m tn A few days ago i burned my left eyelid with a hookah coal. i was smoking hookah with some friends and the coal exploded in my face while i was lighting it. i immediately flushed my eye with cold water and checked my eye in the mirror. the eye itself was not damaged but the eyelid has a nice burn on it. now when i wake up it is really crusty.
Avatar n tn 5 hours and my face was sunburnt even after using 15spf and two days later my upper right eyelid is swollen alot with bags under both eyes and a funny kind of numbness on the right side of my face. It is now July 8th and my face still seems puffy and when I press on my face in the cheek area you can feel the swelling in the eye area. I have been taking ibuprofren 400mg every 4 hrs since yesterday. Is there anything else I can do and how long does this last?
1440587 tn?1284040516 Starting two days ago my right eyelid was hurting a a little swollen. It has gotten more painful and much more swollen since then. If I flip my eyelid up it is very very red and it looked almost like a little red bump underneath - that was yesterday. Today it is so swollen I can't even flip the eyelid up. I called the eye dr and he can't fit me in today. What could it be? What should I do? I took benadryl last night thinking it may be an allergy but it didnt help at all.
Avatar f tn September 2009, after washing my face and eye feeling irritated, I woke up to a swollen eye. I left it thinking it will settle down by itself. Shortly after I seemed to develop Palsy. The Palsy was intermittent. I had a CAT scan. I was put on Cortisone tablets. This did not help. Then I had to endure a long course of cortisone injections. The Palsy stopped. The upper eyelid became drooped. I was told this was due to nerve damage from the Palsy. However, my eyelid continues to be swollen.
Avatar m tn 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. Today I got severe itchy and swollen patches under my eye and my inner eyes are really ichy, is this an allergic reaction from something i ate (even though i'm not allergic to any foods) or from my makeup, or is this some type of disease?
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 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 m tn I've had 4 operations in the last 9 months for retinal detachment. After the first 3, my eye would always recover properly. The last operation which was done December 5th 2008, went well according to my doctor. I went to Africa for a little over a month to travel with family in January. I did everything the doctor told me, putting my eye drops in and not touching the eye as it healed. Now it's June, and for the past 3 months the upper eyelid on the affected eye has been swollen.
Avatar f tn Hello about 3 days ago my bottom eyelid was tender to touch or put eyeliner on,it was not discolored or puffy/ yesterday my btm eyelid under eyelashes was swollen looked like fluid was trapped/Wednesday am my bottom eyelid was almost swollen shut &very sore no discoloration or krusties / i have a little white pimple like spot on the inside middle part of bottom eyelid ..... what is it????
Avatar f tn I often wake up with a large, swollen eyelid. 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?
1618305 tn?1298758246 My left eyelid has been swollen for three days, there is no pain, no bump or itching, but i do feel slight pressure on my eye. It is swollen evenly through and very noticable compared to my other eye, i have tried warm compresses and iceing my eye but nothing has worked. It has not gotten worst but the swelling is still there and really worrying me. I do not have insurance so i can't see a doctor. How long is this going to last and what should i do?
Avatar f tn Over the last six months i am having recurrent swollen eyelid, only one eye at a time but can be either eye, usually lasts 1 or 2 days, only upper eyelid, no pain, itchyness, blurry vision or bloodshot eyes. Had reoccured every 2-3 wks, have had 9wks now when it hasn't happened, and yesterday it reoccurred. GP has tested for thyroid problems, all clear. I have psoriatic arthrits, my consultant says its not related, can you help?
Avatar f tn Hello, I have a swollen bump on my eyelid. I do not see anything along the lash line so I am wondering if it is something other than a stye and what I should do?
