What Is The Remedy For The Swelling In Eyes Caused Due To Numbing Solution?
My husband had a mole removed from his head and the doctor injected a lot of numbing solution. The doctor said not to be alarmed when his face swells...but we are on day two and one eye is almost completely shut and it's working its way to the other one am moving down his face. Is there a way to stop it?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As your husband as undergone mole removal under local anesthesia and your doctor has injected a lot of numbing solution it may be a tumescent anesthesia.
Most common complication following this anesthesia is fluid collections and other irritating are just unavoidable in a few patients.
It will take 3-5 days to clear off from the subcutaneous space. for swelling you just apply cold pack over the eyes.
Thank you.
