The bottom of my left eye is swollen?!


Question: The bottom of my left eye is swollen?
I woke up today and the area below my left eye is swollen. It doesn't hurt and it itches a little. It's red and is fairly noticeable. I don't remember getting bit by anything and I don't know of any allergies I have. I was wondering what it was and what I could do to make the swelling go down.

This is likely to be a stye. they are a real nuisance and as they swell they tend to hurt when you blink. Normally they fix themselves in 48 hours - I have seen people on answers saying they put hot compresses on them mbut I've never tried it. If it goes on longer than 48 hours or spreads to teh eye itself then go to the doctor but that is unlikely if its a stye. You could hunt answers for other solutions to styes, people have a lot of favourites.



You need to get your eye checked. Go to the doctor.
