What To Do For The Swelling And Pain In The Eye?
I had a small gnat or some sort of insect land in my eye when running, about two hours ago. The area below my eye is swollen and the eye itself is swelling around the iris. A little painful, very ugly. will eyedrops and sleep be helpful, or do I need to seek medical help tonight?

Hello
It seems from the history that you had a insect bite causing swelling and pain of the eyelids.
The treatment of the condition is by use of antibiotics eye drops and antiinflammatory drugs.
Use of cold compression and antihistamine drugs will provide symptomatic relief.
Thank you
