swollen eyelids Hi... This is the third time I ve had swollen red eyelids. not painful but very irritating and very swollen... there is not a stye & my eyes are not watery... just very red swollen eyelids...( to the point were I look weird). I am Athletic, 40 years old, female in great condition. I weigh 128. I ve had a earpain & sore throat & recently and had to take amoxicillin for ear infection.... prior to taking an antibiotic I had a lump in front of my ear also....( assuming it was all swollen lymph node...) after a few days of the antibiotic the lump went away however, I m more concerned about my swollen eyelids. ( I gave you that information just in case there was some sort of connection)... I should also mention that looks like I have a swollen ( lymph node) on my lower groin about the size of a ping pong ball.... C.
The inflammation you describe may be related to what is called angioedema which is an allergic reaction, Amoxicillin belongs to a drug group that produces allergic reactions frequently, so I recommend that you consult your doctor to change the medication.
Swollen lymph nodes may be due to several causes, such as infections, hematological diseases, lymphomas, etc. So especially if they persist or not improve, it should be thoroughly studied.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
