Suggest Treatment For Swollen Eyelids

Hi I have had a bad cold for the last two weeks that I just can't get rid of. I have no energy. Then yesterday morning I woke up and it felt like something was in my eye all day long. Then in the middle of the night my eye lids seem to be swollen and both eyes were glued shut. Why am I not seem to be getting any better?

Hi..
Welcome to HCM..
You could be having viral conjunctivitis. It accompanies common cold sometimes..
You can use some artificial tear drops for relief.. You can use antibiotic eye drops also to prevent bacterial infection..
It can spread to others in the family.. So maintain eye hygiene properly so that others are spared..
Hope this information helps.. Take care..
