Puffy Eye

[fruitsalad]

I woke up this morning with a puffy eyelid and the eye closing up, no pain there, unless I touch it, then some, tenderness, I thought it might go down as the day went on, but it hasn't any ideas

Me I would have bathed it all day with luke warm water. But somebody else will have better ideas.

^^^^^JJ is quite correct in her suggestion of warm compresses to the affected eye.
If it becomes worse over the weekend or if you feel ill over the weekend, you may need antibiotics ,so a visit to A&E may well be advisable on perhaps Monday

Ach Sqad - you will be calling me Dr JJ some day LOL.

Do think fruitsalad will be ok. He/she should have been doing it all day any way.

I’ve had similar, and my first instinct is to take an antihistamine. then, if it is an allergy to something, it will go down. If it doesn’t go down, maybe rinse with eyedrops in case there’s a foreign body in there.

Is it a bite?
