What Causes Red Rash And Swelling Under The Eyes?

my seven year old when to school this morning looking and feeling fine. while at school her teacher asked her what is wrong with your eyes? and sent her to the nurse. red rash appeared under both eyes and slightly swollen (looks like someone who has been crying for a while and rubbing eyes) but she has no other symptoms and did not injure her eyes. it is not itchy or painful she would not have noticed if teacher didn t mention it. Nurse had her put ice on each eye at school with no improvement. what might cause this should I worry? it makes her look sick but she is not.

Pediatrician, Cardiology 's  Response
Hi

Most likely this is due to some allergy or initial stage of some infection.
It usually gets improved with some decongestant and anti allergic drops.
I would suggest you to get her to an ophthalmologist for proper clinical examination and management accordingly.
