Suggest Treatment For Swollen Eyes Due To Sun Burn

My face is sunburned from burning brush in the snow. I believe the snow ack as a reflector making the heat more intense. Now my eye is swelling shut. This was 48 hours ago. The redness is looking better but I m concerned about my eye. I m using cold compresses and took IB profen . Should I go to my doctor and is there anything else I can do? Thanks

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic


I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having swelling of the eyelid because of sun burn. The condition will resolve with cold compress and anti-inflammatory drugs. Hence I advice you to continue the treatment and consult your doctor if there is no symptomatic relief.

Thank you
With regards
