when it happens it last for about two days but it has never happened this bad. i really don't think it is allergies because there are no other symtems besides my whole face being itchy and i washed my face twice last night.

Cucumber like Char said and also steep a tea bag and when its cool enough, put that on your lids. The caffeine helps swelling

Have you had allergy problems in the Past?
Are there any other symptoms, itchy spot on your back perhaps?
Itchness at the back of the throat?
Each of these are indicators of an allergen being present. The placing of a cool damp wash rag will provide cooling soothing minutes of relief from irritation. If it persist I would run by the urgent care as soon as you are able and let them see the inflemation and try to diagnose it more appropriately.
How long does it usually last?
I hope you find your answers soon.
Take care.

U should elevate head at night with pillars. Put a rolled towel in the groove of the neck when u sleep.
Could be an allergy, get some visine, benedry to take at night.
A cool compress for 20 minutes then warm for 20 min. should help.
Could be your sinuses, get some saline nasal spray.
Dont worry, and eat more carrots for your eyes.

This isn't a big deal. It could be from allergies, you rubbing it (without realising it), a very poor night's sleep, or whatever. I'd rinse with cool water. Visine AC is good if it's allegies causing it. And whatever you do, don't rub them.

Do you have a cucumber laying in the refrigerator somewhere? If so slice it up and put it on your eyes. It should take away the puffiness. Good Luck

Dont put ice on it. the way the eye works; your eye would freeze and stay like that forever. IF you whare contacts, see your doctor RIGHT AWAY! it could be a major irratation. dont be afended by thins- but it might be age. if your over 45, your eye lids might puff up; then git saggy. i dont know with the little info given.

Go to your doctor, not to school.
