swollen eyelids Hi... This is the third time I ve had swollen red eyelids. not painful but very irritating and very swollen... there is not a stye & my eyes are not watery... just very red swollen eyelids...( to the point were I look weird). I am Athletic, 40 years old, female in great condition. I weigh 128. I ve had a earpain & sore throat & recently and had to take amoxicillin for ear infection.... prior to taking an antibiotic I had a lump in front of my ear also....( assuming it was all swollen lymph node...) after a few days of the antibiotic the lump went away however, I m more concerned about my swollen eyelids. ( I gave you that information just in case there was some sort of connection)... I should also mention that looks like I have a swollen ( lymph node) on my lower groin about the size of a ping pong ball.... C.
