How To Cure Swollen And Droopy Eyelids?

Hi... I have had very swollen and droopy eyelids for several months and have had blood work done and allergy tests and everything is negative. I had botox about a year and a half ago and did get droppy eyelids but it went away. I wake up sometimes with it so severe that it looks as if someone has hit me!! I don't know if this could be caused by something more serious. I look as if I've aged 10 years in a few months!

swollen eye lid means its inflammatory. it can be blepharitis, obstructed gland in lid. or simply allergy. blood test and allergy test will not help much in diagnosis. it is to be diagnosed clinically after local examination. associated pain and itching are two most important symptoms which can help in diagnosis.a systemic antibiotic like ezythrocin 500mg for 3days, and levocetrizine 5mg daily can be started. this can be drug trial which may help in diagnosis.
