Answers:
You did not mention pussy or red eyes so it is probably not an infection!.
It sounds to me like a reaction to an insect bite possibly a spider bite near or on your eyelid!. It will go down by itself or you can take an liquid antihistamine to speed things up like Benedryl or a similar generic kind!.!. Liquid is best as it is quicker to absorb and you can alter the dose if need be!.
It is also a good idea to always have Benedryl liquid antihistamine (or it's like) on hand for any kind of allergic reaction as it can even save a life in case of severe allergic reactions!.
If it is still swollen a few days from now go have it checked out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had the same thing, only it was on the bottom lid!. I got cream/gel for it, it's called OFTALMOLOSA CUSI, it's an eye ointment, cos I got a eye infection from the sea at Majorca, Spain so we had to find a chemist in a rush!I had to wear sunglasses on a rainy day!(can't be exposed to sunlight!.)everyone stared at me too!LMAO
I would go to a doctor though but i think it is a eye infection!.

i've had it before!. it's nothing that i've ever been able to explain though!. it feels like someone punched you in the eye & definitely looks like it as well!. in a few days it'll go away!. by tomorrow the swelling will go down!. if you feel like it go to the doctor & see what you can do about it!. but just know that it will go away on it's own!. so no worries!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

heat is best for swelling!.!.use a warm compress!.!.you can place a damp wash clothe in the microwave for a few seconds and that will help tremendously!.!.but you probably will have to go get some antibiotic drops from the doctor!.!.my daughters eye did that and they told me it was a form of pink eye!.!.good luck=)Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes, it is serious !. i wouldnt suggest taking it lightly !. if it is infeted that could be very bad unless you get helf asap !. please do yourself a favor and go to the doctor !. from personal expirences i'd reccomend a warm wash clothe over it !. it helps it ope up !. good luck !.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you may have an infection, like pinkeye or something!. or a really bad bug bite!. but either way, i think it's safe to say you should have it looked at by a doctor just in case!. you don't want to compromise your visionWww@Answer-Health@Com

Look it up on medline!.

If it's crusty, it's probably pinkeye!.

If it's not, it may be an infected eyelash follicle!.

Some antibiotic cream just for eyes should help!. See a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
