How I Can Get Rid Of The Swelling On Eye Lid?

I have a question I had an ingrown hair under my eyebrow I got it out last night and when I woke up this morning my left eye was swollen. It s swollen and the redness is going down the side of my eye. Is there anything I can do besides warm compresses? And how long will this last?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having swelling of the eyelid following removal of ingrown hair from the eyebrow.
This appears like inflammatory swelling as it is associated with symptoms of inflammation like swelling, redness...
The treatment of the condition is by hot compression, use of analgesic and antiinflammaotry drugs.
The swelling will resolve over 2-3 days.

Thank you
