swollen upper eyelids

someone pleassee help! my eyelids have been so puffy for three days and everything's been going downhill from there. On day 2 my throat started to hurt and now i can hardly swallow. Both my left and right lymph nodes are swollen. My whole body is achey and tired and I'm having a lot of trouble sleeping (waking up 5 times during the night, can't get comfortable, sweating etc...) and i've been really hot and sweaty but no fever. My head aches and i'm getting terrible eye-aches when I look around. I've been icing my eyelids, but that hasn't done anything. Plus, I've never had allergies before. I don't know what to do :(

I've had my left eye be Swollen for about 2 days now. There's nothing really you can do, all you can do is wait. It's very painful to me. I cant really blink a lot. cause it hurts. but i used ice at first, cause i thought that would help the swelling go down, but that didn't help. so now i'm using the warm cloth. its kinda of helping. it wasn't as big as the first day.

Hi everyone please advise me on this I have had swollen eyes since I was 12yrs now Im 24, I have seen different doctors and they have not really helped. In 2007 my optometrist refered me to a plastic surgeon for an opeartion, he removed fat cells in the upper eyelids I could see very small difference after that op. and since then my eyes have gone back again they are still swollen and look tired, Im not willing to go back for that op again what can really help me because they have never diagnosed anaything like eyedrops etc for me, is it an infection? I would really appreciate if anyone can help with this.

Both my upper and lower eyelids gets swollen constantly every month for past few years and it's really painful.... Went to the hospital to remove the small lumps every once every 2~3 months. I really do not know how to hv it cured.... Can't work in this state and it affects my vision too... Doctor advises to wash it with lid care but still it is not helping at all... At times the swell seems to me like spreading from one eye to the other. Every month this is coming back even going to the hospital to remove.... Where and which doctor should I seek for help in Singapore... Any recommendation?

Since August last year I have been suffering from VERY swollen eyelids. I have been treated for conjunctivitis... no help...  Sometimes both eyes were VERY swllen top and bottom looking as if I had been punched. I was given a cream for piles and that worked for the bottom of my eyes. But even today I have very very swollen eyelids. PLEASE HELP

only my eyelid gets swollen its not red or pink just my skin color but its puffy and its hard to open my eye a bit, i just look sleep n this is the 2nd time i got. the 1st time it dissapered in a day or two but i think it happened because i banged my eye against the chair in my car but i didnt do anything this time and its the other eye. any suggestments for teartment?

My mother told me to do cold water like an ice pac and shes a nurse so i dont know. 

It might be a stye, because I've woken up with a swollen eyelid. I didn't have any allergies or anything and my eye wasn't red. It was just swollen. I suggest you should look up how to cure styes.

i ALWAYS HAVE THIS IT IS HORRABLE ONLYIN THE MORNING I HATE IT YOU CAN PUT CUCUMBERS ON YOUR EYE IF IT PAST TO THE NEXT EYE THEN PUT THE CUCUMBER ON BOTH OR ON 1 EYE BUT I KNOW WHT U FEEL I HAVE THT TO IT IS NORMAL DID IT PASS TO THE OTHER EYE ? AND MY NAME IS ERICA

This also happened to me and the doctor said it was a sty.  He gave me erythromycin ophthalmic ointment.  IT WORKS.  My swelling has gone down so much since I got diagonsed.  I feel better now!!!  Hope this helps

I had infection in my eyes where one day, the right eyelid was swollen when I woke up.  My eyes did not hurt. Sometimes it itch or tears up.

The first few doctors I went to misdiagnosed me and gave me medicines for conjuctivitis which made my eyes worse.  It was not until my doctor

prescribed this wonderful antibiotic eyedrops called Tobradex (5 ml).  The swelling and itchiness disappeared.  I would also recommend washing or

changing pillows because eye infections are very contageous, and in my case, eventhough the infection disappeared, it came back when I splept in the

same pillow that I used when I was sick. 

Hi,

I'm not sure if the gal with the swollen eye lid problem, due to chemicals sprayed at her apt blding, will read this but I thought I take a chance.  I have the exact same issue as you but I'm allergic to the chemicals I use at work.  As I type this my eye lids are burning red and swollen lol.  Its such a drag!  Did you find a solution.  I am going to try that roller eye pen you were talking about as I happen to have one.  Thanks for the tip.  If you did get over this pls advise how.  Thanks again, Eileen

Hey guys although its not the case for everyone here, i had 2 weeks once where i would wake up in the morning and my upper eyelids were swollen, but they would go done during the day. I then ended up getting a cold and sore throat and then found out i had glandular fever, and that the puffy eyelids was part of it. It is meant to be because of the immune system being down

I sometimes get swollen lids and muscous due to a yeast/candida reaction. When I change my diet to vegetables and some meats and avoid sugar or many carbos that feed yeast, my symptoms clear up.
