How To Treat Swollen Eye Lids?

Yes, PLEASE? I have my left eyelid swollen and a little "lazy eye" that im not sure what is going on with it. My Dr. precribed Bactrum and thought it might be a sinus infection. it has been 3 weeks since that treatment terminated and still my left eye looks like it is half way open and the eye lid and socket are extremly painful. Any Ideas? Thank You, Tim Ewing.

Hello
I reviewed your history, it appears like you are having cellulitis affecting the eye lid and orbit as you are complaining of swollen eyelid with pain and painful eye socket.
The treatment of the condition is by use of antibiotic and antiinflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
