Brief Answer:
Can you send an image to us for review?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this swollen upper eye. This could very much represent an allergy. If that be the case, then you would have started noticing a change by now. However, I will like to review an image of this swelling to make sure I am providing a personalized and helpful response. If this is not possible, then I will provide as much specific information as possible in order to address this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

You should have witnessed significant improvement by this time. If so, bother not to send an image and if not, please send the image for review.
