Suggest Remedies For Swollen Eye And Red Dot On My Eyelid

I was at my daughters soccer and felt something get my eye. I thought it was perhaps a bug flying in my eye. By the time we got home my eyelid was swollen. I noticed a red dot on my eyelid which I assume was from a bug. I'm holding ice on my eyelid right now but its still swollen and now seems ti be moving to the inside eyelid corner. Help! I have an awards banquet on Saturday and I don't want a swollen lid. Thanks

Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello.....if the swelling is because of the insect bite then you should consult an ophthalmologist cause if there occurs infection and pus formation in the eyelids the condition might worsen....so its better to consult a doctor and take the proper antibiotics orally and topically before the condition worsens.
