What Causes Swelling In The Eyelids While Having Nasal Blockage?

Posted on Wed, 23 Aug 2017

Question: My Nose is constantly blocked with mucus. At least one nostril will be partially blocked even through out the day. My eye lids are also constantly swollen 24*7. Could they both be interlinked? I have noticed nostril block from past 4-5 months but swelling in eye lids is there from past 2 years. Please let me know the reasons behind my troubles and if in case whom to contact.

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic and thanks for putting up the query

Nasal blockage can cause watering in the eyes but not swelling. You should get a x-ray paranasal sinuses done and thyroid function test done.
Please tell me what medicines have u been taking so far?

Hi
Thanks for the information.
Take a combination of levocetrizine and pseudoephedrine two times a day and xylometazoline nasal drops three times a day for 5 days.
All the medicines I have prescribed will be available at prescription only.
Follow up with the x-ray.
Take care
Thanks and regards
