Common Questions and Answers about Swollen eyelid in children

swollen

Avatar n tn Floaters in children are not rare, especially if myopic. Perhaps 10% of children might be able to see floaters. Often floaters in a child are not the same as an adult and can represent debris left from embryonic blood vessels that once bridged the vitreous space. If she has flashes of light, any loss of field of vision, severe trauma to eye or sees showers of floaters (like soot in eye) she should go in for an exam.

1440587 tn?1284040516 One thing I read today said that if your eyelid is red then you may need antibiotics, which he did not prescribe. Today when I woke up my eyelid is very red and more swollen (seems worse in the morning), do you think I should get antibiotics?
Avatar n tn Recently i discovered my right eyelid is drooping a little bit more(not alot but noticeable upon closer observation), it seems that the inner side of the eyelid isnt folded in anymore like that of my left eye. The eyebag at my right eye is also visibly more swollen then that of my left eye...its been going on for months and apparently even my clinic doctor cant figure out whats wrong,would appreciate some help, thanks.
Avatar f tn I looked in the mirror and notice the corner is a little swollen. Also i notice when i pull down my eyelid i see like this idk what to call it i think its part of the eyelid that holds the eye, it is also a little swollen . . . I don't im freaking out i pray its just a minor eye infection and nothing serious that can damage my eye -.
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 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 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.
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 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?
Avatar f tn About three to four days ago my eye began to feel like I had been punched in the face on the left side. I woke up the next morning to find a swollen eyelid, and a few lumps about the size of a piece of rice to a pin head. I gave it a day then went to the after hours where they gave me drops. Its since been two days and it gets more swollen everyday, today being swollen shut. The outside is purple and red and the inside is bright red and the lumps are growing.

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 Ocular herpes is incredibly rare. A swollen eyelid is not an indication of herpes. A doctor will be able to identify issues with the eye and treat you accordingly or pass you on to an ophthalmologist. The genital exposure is irrelevant; if you are going to have issues with ocular herpes, it will come internally from your oral infection.
Avatar f tn I have swollen eyelids that come and go, almost like hives, but rarely itch. Can be one or several. On omnicef for sinus infection, but doctor doesn't think this is causing it. Before omincef had a sulfer type med that caused swelling in joints, sick stomach, rash, fever. Have been on Omicef 5 days. Started having strange raised bumps for three days that come and go. Will say that two weeks ago had actual hives around eyes and think it was caused from eye cream.
Avatar f tn Recently, I have had this swollen like pimple thing on my eyelid. It was starting to go away but it came back even more swollen. I'm not sure if it's stye..

Avatar m tn I'll add as much information as possible to my topic. If this isn't in the right forum section, please move it to the correct one, but read my post first. I guess this could also go in the allergies section. I am nearly 16 years old, now a Junior in High School, and have had problems with bumps and swelling on my eyelids since the 4th grade. I woke up this morning to my right eye being half open. Looking in the mirror, it's swollen yet again.
Avatar n tn or could it be an infection? there is no redness, itching and the eyelid just looks swollen, but not red nor bruised.
Avatar n tn It was found out to be Infantigo. A common skin infection in small children. It is usually from Strep. or Staph. Hopefully yours is just a sty and can be treated fairly easily. Good luck.
Avatar n tn When I woke up yesterday 17 hours ago my left lower eyelid was swollen and painful. There is a little redness. I am wondering what this is? Swelling has not gone down.
