What Is The Remedy For Spasms In The Eyelid?
I have been having spasms in my left eye lid for 6 or 8 weeks now and in the last few days I have started to smell a burnt or burning odor sometimes. I do have sinus issues sometimes. Could that be the cause of this or may it be symptoms of something else?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having spasms of eyelid in the left eye. This is called as blepharospasm and the common causes for this are lack of sleep, use of caffeine, stress and local inflammations of eyelids or eye.
Applying cold compression will help to relieve your symptoms, if the symptoms are not getting relieved you need eye examination to rule out local inflammations as a possible cause.
Thank you
