Suggest Treatment For Swollen Eyes

Hi, I am sitting here with both my eyes swollen. It started last night with itching and got worse overnight. This is not the first time it happened. I've had similar reactions to face creams, but this time I was not using anything! The same thing happened about three weeks ago (without any cream), but it went away in a couple of days so I did not give it more thought. However now I remembered that I went to the dentist for a filling then, and the swelling happened a couple of days after. I saw the dentist a couple of days ago to adjust the filling as it had been causing me pain when I was chewing food. I was wondering if these swellings could be an allergic reaction to something the dentist used or something else? (He doesn't know about the swelling as there wasn't any then and there is no pain in the gums or face but told me to wait a couple of weeks to see if the filling and pain settles.) Should I turn to anyone or wait for it to go away?
