Hello
It seems from the history that you are having swelling of sinus cavity under eye.
This is because of inflammation of sinus called as sinusitis resulting in blockage and obstruction of the sinus thus resulting in collection of secretions and swelling.
The treatment is by using antibiotic drugs, antiinflammatory drugs and decongestant drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and prescription of drugs.


Thank you
