Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Pain On Eyes
I was woken up by my eye which is swollen shut and hurts. Over the past 2 days I have tried hot/cold compress' with limited success. It seems to get worse when I sleep. My family thinks I may be allergic to the sulfur compounds I was using in my college chemistry lab.

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.
I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having pain and swelling of the eyes. This is not likely to be allergy as allergy will present with symptoms of itching and pain will be absent.
These symptoms look like infection of the eyes. This requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Hope this information is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards
