What Could Cause Swelling In Eyes After Using Protopic And Benadryl?

I had a problem with my eyes a month ago. Underneath it was dry and flaky. I was using Teamine and the dera doc took me off and gave me PROTOPIC. It helped but over the course of a week I stopped using it and went back to Citaphil. The nurse had said I may need antibiotics but then she changed her mind. Three weeks and all is good went back to Teamine eye cream and I noticed the same red dryness and burning. Stopped using it, so last night I put on Protopic and took a Benadryl and went to bed and I woke up with my right swollen as if I had been punched. This has never ever happened before
