What Causes Swelling In Eyes?

I used a pad that scrubbed my face, and apparently used it to close to my eyes. I used it for several weeks before my eyes started to swell. Now that I ve stopped using the product, (it s been 4 months) my eyes are still retaining fluid. Cold compresses ect. have not helped much. I m not prone to any eye bags, geneticly or otherwise. I ve tried Benedryl, sinus pills. Nothing seems to help. I ve stopped rubbing, applying eye makeup, other than splashing my eyes with water. I will try drinking more water. Also I don t sleep on my face at all. Any suggestions? Ce Ce

Cause of swelling in eye may be different and not linked to all the things you are apprehending. what your eye need is a complete examination. You need a general checkup. Blood hemogram and renal function test should be done.The indication given with these test should be treated. Avoid cosmetic and makeup for some time. You will be completely alright once it is diagnosed and proper treat ment is given. take medication only on doctors advise.
