What Causes Swelling Of The Eyes After Swimming In A Pool?

my 4 year old has swollen eyes for the past 2 days after swimming in a pool twice during summer camp. I took her to the doc & he said it is due to chlorine entering the eyes & to use swim googles next time. The swelling has yet to subside..its more on the lower left eye near the tear gland.

Hi dear,
The another cause can be adenovirus or bacterial infection. I suggest to use eyes drops: Ciprofloxacin 1 drop 6 times for 2 days,then 1 drop 4 times for 3 days. Wash eyes with tea water. Gie to child Cetirizine syrup.
