Hi statchyhowland,
Thanks for the query through health care magic platform.
I have read your query & understood your concern.
Skin under eyes is very thin & delicate & is prone to swell with infection/ inflammation/ allergy & irritation of eyes ( stress, Psychological disturbances, crying.
Knowing basic cause forms basis of good treatment & relief . So let us make a short list of possible causes of the condition in your case.
- Allergy.. may come from something you come in contact with eating, inhaling, Physical contact( toiletries, cosmetics, cleaning agents etc. ). It is usually associated with itching & you don't have it .. so seems to be non applicable in your case.
- Infection of eye, sinuses/ kidney infection
- Inflammation can be due to allergy, infection,local irritation due to foreign body in eye/ contact lenses./stress to eyes ( occupational )/refractory error.
- Excessive intake of salt can cause such swelling./ chronic sleeplessness h./ aging is another cause / family tendency has to be considered in such cases.
* I would advise for a consultation of your family physician. He will have an extensive physical examination/ eye examination.
Few investigations like .. Blood counts for deciding allergy cause, thyroid function tests/ serum sodium).. will be done .
Then he may start treatment with specific medicines OR would refer to to Nephrologist ( Kidney specialist)/ Ophthalmologist( for eye problem )/ endocrinologist( to assess thyroid problem Graves )
The specialist would have detailed examination & investigations to confirm the final diagnosis.
The cause specific treatment would help you.
* Personal care-
-Think positive and use cucumber slice/ cool tea bags, potato slice/ cooling gel eye pack over the eyes in morning for 15 -20 minutes.
- treat the root cause with help of a specialist.
