Swollen Eye?

Question

This morning I awoke and found my left eye swollen, this is the second time in two weeks someone told me that my left eye was swollen. No pain, irritation or redness. I did have a miserable headache earlier in the week, that shut me down for the rest of the night, but since that no other issues.

Answer 1

Sounds like a sinus issue. The sinuses surrounding that eye are getting clogged up. You might even have a sinus infection up there.

Try a nasal inhalent and a vaporizer in your room when you sleep with a bit of Vicks vapor in the little tray.

If it does not go away in a few days or gets worse - get to the doctor. You might have to have your sinuses flushed or it could be something else.

Answer 2

I had an interesting sort of eye infection a few months ago .. my eyelid was red and puffy and caused my eye to swell shut. No other symptoms. Maybe you have some sort of infection as well. I'd call a doctor .. they can call in some prescription eye drops to help you. Also try a compress. Hope you feel better soon!
