What Is The Remedy For A Swollen Eyelid?
I woke up this morning with a very dry left eye, which, over the course of the day has worsened. It feels like someone is sticking pins in my eye & there is pain when I press on my now swollen eyelid! I'm also very congested on my left side & have a headache on my left side. Please advise!

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having swollen and painful eyelid. This can be because of inflammatory swelling involving the gland of the eyelids like hordeolum internum or externum.
The treatment is by using antibiotic eye drops and oral antiinflammatory drugs. Applying hot compression to the swollen eye lid provides symptomatic relief.
Thank you
