What Causes Swollen Eyelid And Eyebrow?

Hello, I got bit by a gnat or mosquito on the corner of my brow last evening and my brow and eyelid started to swell. I took some benedryl and went to sleep. Its morning now and the swelling is still there. What should I do? Do I need to go see my dr?

No, a bug bite would usually disappear over the next few days. Just continue with the Benedryl at night for another 2-3 days and observe. Only if the swelling grows or you develop pain, then do consult your physician for a short course of oral antibiotics..
