Brief Answer:
Possibly an allergy. Let' see how you do on Benadryl!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this swollen eyelids that you have reported. I have reviewed your information fully and this is suggestive of a possible allergy. I am not sure if you applied any new beauty products to the face. If you did, then that is the most likely cause. Benadryl is a good drug for allergies and I will like you to continue with it. We will only investigate further if symptoms fail to regress on this medication. Also, if there is any new addition to your beauty product box, please drop it as it could be the most likely cause of this allergic reaction.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
