How do I treat a swollen eyelid?

You can help to reduce the swelling of the eyelid by applying a cold compress to the swollen area. This should bring the swelling down.

A swollen eyelid can be treated with sliced cucumbers or a cool wet tea bag gently placed on top of the closed eyelid, which may reduce the swelling. Another alternative treatment is to find a good natural eye cream that contains caffeine and/or vitamins and antioxidants with no harsh chemicals that can irritate the eye further.

You can treat it with eye drops which can be prescribed by a doctor or you can buy them right from a store. You may also use an ointment.
