Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM,
Understanding your concern.As per your query you have swelling of eyes and left side of face along with skin redness . Well there can be many reasons for redness of eyes like dry air , exposure to the sun , dust , allergic reactions , bacteria or viruses and conjunctivitis . Take proper sleep and cover your eyes with sunglass to prevent them from direct sunlight and dust. I would suggest you to avoid wearing lenses , wash your eyes with cold water , avoid activities that can cause eyestrain , keep cucumber slices on your eyes for some time , take anti histamine like bendryl twice a day , avoid apply any skin product on face and continue eye drops prescribed by doctor . If condition doesn't get better then consult ophthalmologist again for proper diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics along with anti inflammatory and anti allergic .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
