Severe upper eyelid inflammation day 4

2018-02-25 15:54:27
My eye started swelling up about four days ago. This morning it's at its worst, and I'm unsure of how to handle it, seeing as a lot of eyelid afflictions have similar symptoms. I've been putting hot compresses on it, and it does feel like something is inside of there, in the corner. I work in landscaping and trenching, so I am in the dirt constantly. This same dilemma arose about a year ago, and it turned out to be bacterial. Should this stop me from working outside tomorrow? Thank you.

Since it is a recurrence, it is even more imperative to consult an Ophthalmologist. If you can find an Ophthalmic plastic surgeon in your vicinity, that would be the best option for problems pertaining to the eyelids.
