@utsav Hello, A swollen or puffy eyelid is common. Causes can range from fluid retention to a severe infection. In most cases, the swelling goes away within 24 hours. You can reduce the swelling with compresses, but how you treat a swollen eyelid also depends on the cause. Reasons for your swollen eyelid could be allergies, cysts, or inflammation that spreads to the skin around your eyes. You can treat swollen eyelids at home, especially if they are caused by fluid retention, stress, allergies, or lack of sleep. If those are possible causes, then swelling will often be in both eyes. If your eyelids are painful or tender to the touch, the cause is likely an infection, cyst, or style. It’s important to determine the cause of your swollen eyelid, as treatment options depend on what caused it.
Here are some remedies-- Cool compress- A cool compress can help relieve eye inflammation and soothe irritated skin. Place a damp, cool washcloth over the eyes for 20 to 30 minutes at a time for relief. An ice pack will work as well — just remember to add a cloth buffer (such as a towel) between your eyes and the ice pack to avoid direct contact with skin. Cold cucumber slices and even chilled teething rings have also been used to soothe swollen eyes.
- Avoid sugar- Too much sugar can cause inflammation throughout the body, including the eyes. Try to cut back on your sugar intake, and you may notice a difference in eyes that constantly appear swollen.
Seek medical treatment immediately so they can get an accurate diagnosis and antibiotics. Always see a doctor if your cyst, blocked tear duct, or other cause of swelling does not clear up after a few weeks.
