Can Eyelid Swelling Be Caused By A Tetanus Injection?
I recieved a tetanus shot a couple of days ago in my right arm. The day after and up till now I ve had some swelling in my right eyelid. Is this related to the tetanus shot? I am a relatively healthy 30 year old who exercises regularly and am not sick often.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having swelling of the eyelid.
This is not related to tetanus injection.
The swelling of the eyelids is because of inflammation of glands of eyelids.
The treatment is by use of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs. Applying hot compression provides symptomatic relief.
Thank you
