How To Treat Swollen, Painful Eyes With Purple Tinged Eyelid?
when I woke up this morning my right eyelid became painful and it was a little purple ish and during the day it was getting a little swollen. my right eye looks a little smaller then my other eye. And my eyelid appears to get a little more purple. Is there anyway I can reduce swelling? Should I put ice on it?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having inflammatory lesion involving the glands of the eyelids leading to swollen painful and purple tinged eyelid.
The treatment of the condition is by using anti-inflammatory drugs and topical antibiotic eye drops or eye ointments.
Applying hot compression locally over the swollen eyelid provides better symptomatic relief.
Thank you
