Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having swollen eyelid following eye injury.
My response to your question is as follows.
These symptoms indicate ecchymosis of the eyelids because of collection of blood in the layers of skin of the eyelids.
If there is no injury to the eye then no need to be worried and this condition will resolve in 1-2 weeks slowly as the blood gets absorbed.
This requires treatment by the use of cold compression and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope this information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for any further questions and I will be happy to answer and assist you.
Thank you
With regards
