What Causes Swollen Eye And Boil On The Bridge Of Nose?

I have large boil on the left outside bridge of nose. My eye has been swollen and I have a headache between my eyes making me frown. Of course it is awful uncomfortable and embarrassing. Do I need to see a doctor being it is not inside my nose or will this clear up.

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having a boil on the bridge of the nose.
This indicates a probable furuncle and requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs.
The sweling of the eye is because of reactionary inflammatory edema and will decrease with treatment by antiinflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
With regards
