Swollen Eyelid - What causes it?
|
Generally your doctor will prescribe you an antibiotic for the swollen eyelid. Some of them are taken orally while others are applied directly to the eyelid with a q-tip or your fingertip. You may be given eye drops as well as a precaution so that your infection doesn't spread to other areas of the eye. You will likely need to take such medication for a period of 10 days. It can take a few days or a few weeks for a swollen eyelid to return to normal. If you continue to suffer from a swollen eyelid, it is possible that you have an allergic reaction to something. It may be ingredients in your soap, facial cleanses, and even make up. You may have to evaluate items that you have recently started using to find out what it is. However, your body may change so a product you have used for a long time may suddenly start to not agree with your body. It is best not to share make up and other products for the face with other people. If one person has any type of infection it could spread to others. Young girls are more likely to share make up and similar products than adults. They tend to have make over parties and experiment with different colors. Sinus problems have been known to result in swollen eyelids as well. Those that get this type of problem on a regular basis definitely need to talk with their doctor. There is too much fluid in the body due to the sinus cavity problems and a solution needs to be found. It will likely be in the form of prescription medication if you haven't had any success with over the counter products. In addition, you may need to throw away products that have been in contact with your eyelids over the past few days. This will include make up products because the bacteria can be in them. If you continue to use those products then the infection can happen over and over again. A clean warm wash cloth on the swollen eyelid can help to give you some relief from the pain while you wait for the swelling to go down. You can also use over the counter pain relievers in order to give you some relief from the pain as well. It is always a good idea to see a doctor though since it is hard to determine what the cause of a swollen eyelid is on your own.
