Suggest Treatment For Itchy Swelling On The Eyelids

My sister is on vacation at the seashore, and Friday evening, her left eyelid starting itching and she thought that it was from an insect bite, and on Sat. morning it was still itching and a bit swollen, and it looked like she had 2 small pimples on the lid. It stayed the same for the day, but this morning when she woke up, her eye was almost swollen shut, and she has little pimples under the eye, and thought that it might be sun poisoning and not insect bites. She had put ice on it several times, not much relief, and then switched to warm, moist compresses, which seemed to help more than the ice, and by this evening it looked much better, but the little raised rash under the eye was still there. Thank you very much!

Hi,

Your sister has probably developed stye in her eyes. Hot fomentation or warm compress helps. She can also apply antibiotic eye ointment 3 times a day over the lids for 5 days. Can also take painkiller like combiflam tablet for pain is required.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
