Hi, thanks for the query. The most common cause for swelling around the eye is sleep deprivation, or any change in the pattern of sleep cycle. Fluid retention due hormonal imbalance, & excess salt in the diet can cause swelling in the eye. The cause for the pus, could be infection in the eye. That needs to be tested from the laboratory and the appropriate antibiotic needs to be started. A cold compress near the eye can act as a short-term remedy. Cold temperature constricts blood vessels, preventing the flow of fluid into tissues and diminishing puffiness in the process. Elevating the head while sleeping can prevent the redistribution of fluid and swelling. A low carbohydrate diet will prevent the puffiness of the eye. If any further query, you can have a Live Chat with one of our doctors online between 9am-9pm IST (GMT+5:30) on all 7 days a week at www.healthcaremagic.com. Alternatively, you can speak with them over phone at +91-80-41743045 between 12noon-6pm IST from Monday to Friday .
