you have only said swollen eyes.what about discharge, pain, itching, congestion. without these symptoms it may not be inflammatory. so medicine can be given on presumption. take levocetrizine 5mg tabled daily cromal eye drop may be applied 2times daily. get your eye examined by eye doctor to exclude calazion, or any other inflammatory foci near your eye. get renal function test done.
