What Is The Cure For Swelling In Eye Lid?

My right eyelid is swollen red and puffy. I got johnson and johnson baby lotion in it. The white of my eye is not red. It does not itch or bother me. should I be concerned and will the swelling go down and is there anything that I could take or do to help the swelling?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having red and puffiness of the eyelids. This is usually because of inflammation of the glands of the eyelids.
The treatment of the condition is by use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs for control of inflammation. Applying hot compression provides symptomatic relief from redness and other inflammatory symptoms.

Thank you
