Eyelid swelling

2017-07-13 10:52:15
My right upper eyelid is swollen for the past 2 days. Initially I thought maybe coz of some insect bite or something. But now I am having difficulty blinking and it's swollen. The eye is not red or itching, just the swelling is there and gets watery sometimes. Also I have a bad cold and running nose. So what should be done to cure it?

Donot wait as this could turn into cellulitis. Better get examined and start oral and local treatment. If its cellulitis you will need oral antibiotics.
