Suggest Remedy For Pressure And Swelling In Eye After Blowing The Nose
my husband blew his nose and his left eye got swollen fast. He does not have a fracture on his face but he did get elbowed in the face a couple of days ago. What can we do to release the pressure? The swelling went down on the eye but he is feeling pressure.

Hello,
The nose itself can swell and the swelling can extend to the areas around the eyes. To relieve the swelling of the eyes, I recommend to use an anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg. I also recommend to use cold compresses for local application. If the symptoms continue, I suggest to see an ENT specialist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
