Suggest Treatment For Slightly Swollen Upper Eyelid

3 days ago woken up with a slightly swollen upper eyelid. Pain if I squint or look up. The pain is less but now I m tearing excessively and there was a white filmy substance underneath eyelid. Which I was able to wash out and the tearing has subsided some.

Hi.
Thanks for choosing HCM..
There could be an infections of the glands in the eyelid which is causing the swelling, pain and discharge..
You can use an antibiotic ointment under the eyelid and hot fomentation and a pain killer if the pain is severe..
It's not a serious condition and subsides in 4-5 days..
Hope this information helps..Take care..
