How To Overcome The Swelling On My Eye Brow Bone?
i just noticed today when i was opening my eyes i couldn't full open them i thought maybe my eyes were heavy but i wasn't tired. I go to look in the mirror and my eye brow bone is swollen. Its right above my eye lid. It doesn't and it doesn't bother me, it is a bit annoying though.

Hi there.
Sudden swelling like this could be due to some insect bite caused while you were asleep.
It is unlikely to be due to bone swelling and is more likely a soft tissue one as bony swelling does not happen overnight.
Apply ice packs and take some anti-inflammatory medicine like diclofenac.
That should suffice.
It it still persists then get it checked up by an eye specialist.
Good luck.
