Sounds like an allergic reaction.
If the dog is around 50 lbs you can give it 2 benadryls. Each benadryl is typically 25 mg. 50 lbs or more you can give 2 .
take it to the vet asap though.

Eye Problems or Injury. Eye problems can be particularly difficult. Painful or irritated eyes usually cause your pet to rub or scratch, making the situation worse. Any red, painful or swollen eye should be examined immediately by a veterinarian. Prevent scratching or rubbing until your pet can be examined. You can use sterile eye wash if there is suspicion of a chemical or foreign object having gotten into the eye. If the eyeball is “popped out” of the socket – rinse it with sterile eye wash, or use a soft cloth or gauze soaked with eye solution or eye ointment, and cover the eye. Transport your pet immediately to your veterinarian.

A trip to the veterinarian--emergency vet if you can afford it, regular vet ASAP if you can't.
This could be caused by anything: allergies, bee/wasp sting, foreign object, head trauma, etc. If you hurt your eye and it didn't get better, wouldn't you go to the doctor? You can't treat it properly if you don't know what caused it. Our pets can't talk. They rely on us to take care of them, and it is our responsibility to get them proper medical care so they do not suffer needlessly.

Take Fido to the vet.
My in-laws' dog had a swollen area around his eye, and he had a tumor.

What caused the swelling? A fight? A bugbite or sting? Infection?
Benadryl is great for reducing swelling immediately, but if the dog needs medical attention, don't hesitate to get him a vet.

Depends why the eye is swollen...if it's allergies, it will need meds...if it was due to a blow, it may need draining and veterinarian monitering...call your vet.
