Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My left eyelid is swollen, red, and very itchy. Sometimes when l stare at my laptop for 20 minutes, it gets watery. I am currently using Antihistamines.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If your eyelid swelling is painful, then start warm compresses over it for one week and do it at least twice a day. If it is not painful but associated with itching, only start with cold compresses over it for one week and at least twice a day. Also, start with eyedrop Moxifloxacin three times a day for one week and follow up after five days. Please continue with your antihistaminic tablet or drop it as advised. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
