What Causes Swollen Eyelid?
Hi, My eyelid has been slightly swollen for the last few days. At the beginning it was a little sore, now its just swollen. There no discharge or sores associated with it. It improves during the day however over night it tends to swell again. I m currently on Chlorisg. Is there anything I can do to rid of this? Thanks.

Hello,
Causes of swollen eyelids include fluid retention, allergies, eye infections and eye injuries. Swelling of the eyelids also can be a sign of serious, potentially sight-threatening problems, such as orbital cellulitis, Graves' disease and ocular herpes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
