Suggest Treatment For Left Sided Headache And Right Sided Swollen Eyelid

Hi
Headache on 1 side and lid swelling on the other side is quite unusual unless some precipitating trauma is present. Has he been hit in the head or eye with a blunt object recently? if yes, ibuprofen will help with pain and i would suggest putting ice on the swollen eye lid as that tends to be of more help than on the neck. I hope my suggestion helps.
