Can Aleve Be Taken For Swelling In Eye?

I have blurred vision in one eye (like looking through a fish bowl), swelling or fluid behind the eye. Macro degeneration has been ruled out (so far). I cannot get an appointment with a specialist until mid November. Is there anything preventative I can do? Will taking Aleve help to reduce swelling?

Hi and welcome to HCM,
From your brief history, it seems you have a retinal problem.
I am not sure T. Aleve will help, since it is just a pain reliever, but you can try it. In case you are a diabetic you can get your sugar levels under control in the mean time.
All the very best health to you and your family!!!
