What Causes Swollen Eye Lid Along With Tenderness In Temple?

Hello, I am asking this question for my girlfriend who is an Elementary Art teacher. Three days ago she woke up complaining about the side of her head around her Temple being tender red and sore with burning. Today her eye lid on the same side of her head is visibly swollen. Any ideas as to what this could be. She has no known allergies. Thanks Jim

Hi Jim.

It could be an insect bite, but a physical examination will also have to be conducted and all neurological causes have to be ruled out. Please speak to your doctor about the same and have her adequately examined.

Best wishes.
