Suggest Home Remedies For Puffy Eyes And Blurred Vision

I took my kids to a public pool and my sons eyes are really puffy and blurry vision. His checks r even red and swollen. Is there anything I can do to help comfort him at home? It's done it before and it went away the next day but all I did was put a cool towl on his eyes.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
Thank you for contacting HCM.

Most probably your son is suffering from allergy due to some source in the pool. It could be an insect bite or anything else. I won't be able to recommend you medicine as you have not mentioned age of your son. One thing that you can do is that heat some cloth on flame so that it becomes slightly warm, then place it over the eye. It will give soothing effect. Repeat 3-4 times a day.

Visit hospital if :
> IF condition persists for more than 2 days.
> If any other symptom appears.
> If child becomes lethargic, drowsy or difficulty in breathing

Hope he get well soon.

Thank You
