Swelling In Eyes, Little Difficulty In Opening Them. Had Severe Sunburn, Took Ibuprophen. Advice
I had a severe sunburn on Sunday that turned into my forehead swelling on Monday. I took ibuprophen and had a cool compress on it for most of the day, and then drove home from my vacation last night. This morning, the swelling is down on my forehead, but my eyes are now swollen. I can still open them, but not nearly as much as I could yesterday. What should I do?
