Suggest Treatment For Swollen Eyes In A Child

my 4 yr old spent about 3 hr outside today then woke up from his nap with both eyes swollen. I have been giving him childrens Allegra Allergy that we got from the store for his runny nose and watery eyes the past week and it seemed to be helping him but this is the first time since it started that he spent any time outside. should I give him somthing else before I go to the doctor in the morning?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
I would not give him anything in addition to the Allegra. you can use warm compresses on the eyelids for as much as he will let you do it. This will help bring down more of the swelling. Then you can address the issue when you see his doctor.
I find this answer helpful
