does tylenol reduce swelling?!


Question: Does tylenol reduce swelling?
my eyelids are swollen and i was wondering if tylenol or something will help reduce the swelling?

Answers:

Tylenol is only an analgesic: painkiller.

Not anti-inflammatory plus painkiller like aspirin and other NSAIDs.



I don't think it reduces swelling, only reduces pain. Your best bet is to get an ice pack right away, it can reduce swelling so get an ice pack from the freezer if you have one, wrap it around a towel and compress it on your eyes. After the day is over switch over to hot compresses get a towel and run it under warm or hot water and compress it on your eyes every 5 minutes or so before you sleep. Get 2 pillows and stack em on top of each other to keep the blood flow well. Avoid bright lights and get good rest! Drink lots of water too! If you have been scratching your eyes it could be an infection, might be possibly allergies too, if you have any that is. Follow these methods, if it doesn't work within a few days then seek a doctor for help.

Head trauma near the eye should always be treated immediately with a cold compress to help prevent swelling and a black eye!

24-48 hours after the injury has occurred you should switch from cold compresses to warm compresses to treat the black eye. By now the capillaries and blood vessels surrounding your eye should be repaired, and it’s time to get more blood flowing through those veins to help get rid of that black eye. Heat serves to dilate the capillaries underneath the skin, which will induce blood flow and help to flush away dead and dying tissue, including blood clots.

Keep your head elevated while you sleep, and try not to roll over to the side where the black eye may be forming. Keeping your head and your black eye elevated will help reduce blood pressure in your head. True, by now you’re applying compresses to help improve blood flow to those areas, but think of the blood vessels being repaired as very delicate balloons, any amount of pressure could make them pop, leaking blood and making the black eye worse.

Warm compresses, head elevation during the night, and massaging the tissue in gentle circles should get rid of the black eye or swelling

If you don't see any signs of improvement in 2-3 days to - 1 week, you should go to a doctor immediately!

Hope you get better :D
