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.
