Hello
It seems from the history that you had a injury to the eye and following this you are having swelling of the eyelids. This is because of ecchymosis of the eyelid as a result of impact of injury. The treatment you are on in the form of cold compress and anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen is sufficient and you can continue it. Similarly you can continue metformin for treatment of diabetes.

Thank you
