i start to use victoza 0.6ml for obesity management. on second day i feel very minor swelling under one eye and same side cheek (hardly visible) (could be my thought). no other side effets. i want to ask from experts can i continue taking victoza?

Accepted Answer

: Swelling of any part of face seems like an allergic reaction.I will suggest you either consult your Doctor who prescribed Victoza or stop taking Victoza.It can lead to more serious reaction.Victoza is used for type2 Diabetese and also for weight loss by some.

Question 2

slight swelling under one eye, rough scaly looks like thin scab and it burns when i apply any cosmetics.rough bumps spreading down face to cheek bones

Accepted Answer

Check 4  shingles: It doesn't sound exactly like it but the most concerning thing that it could be is herpes zoster (shingles) if it is close to the eye like that it can be serious so you should get this looked at by a doctor today.

Question 3

how can i know what could be the cause of one eye swelling?

Accepted Answer

Various: First be sure it is not that the other eye is receding?   The causes for one eye protruding include thyroid disease, tumors, vascular lesions and infections (i assume there was no trauma involved which would be an obvious cause).  Unilateral swelling needs to be evaluated by your eye doctor especially if the vision is affected, if there is double vision, or pain in the eye or socket.

Question 4

why do i have mild pain and burning in one eye, but no redness or swelling?

Accepted Answer

Dry eye: Could be dry eye but difficult to say. You can try some lubricating drops (tears) available over the counter to see if they help but if there is no improvement then you should see your eye doctor.

Question 5

i'm having some weird swelling under one of my eyes. its very puffy and red right under my eye. my eye also hurts to open and feels sluggish. have pic?

Accepted Answer

ER visit: This sounds like periorbital cellulitis and can be very serious. Get on antibiotics tonight. That infection can spread directly into the brain. Dr visit tonight.

Question 6

why is my bottom eyelid swelling and itchy all of a sudden in one eye?

Accepted Answer

Likely allergy: This sounds like a contact allergy.  It should resolve within 12-24 hours. You can use a cool compress and an over the counter anti-histamine. If it's particularly bothersome and not improving, see an eye doctor.

Question 7

back of my right eye hurts when rubbed&when lids are squeezed  .but looks normal form outside no swelling and red.how to cure this(only one eye hurts)?

Accepted Answer

Get checked..: It can be glaucoma.......any painful condition of eye should be promptly evaluated.

Question 8

my 8 yr old's inner corner of one eye is red. no pain, itching or swelling. it's been like that for 2 days.

Accepted Answer

Brocken Blood Vessel: Most probably he rubbed the eye accidentally or subconsciously, causing tear of a small blood vessel with resultant small bleeding called subconjunctival hemorrhage. It will resolve in a week or two. Not to worry.

Question 9

what cause facial nerve not to function thereby causing numbness on one side of the face and swelling of the face , lips , excruciating eye pain both?

Accepted Answer

Virus or other cause: Facial nerve paralysis or paresis is also called a facial nerve palsy. It can be caused by a viral infection, but the cause is often unknown. If it persists for longer than one day, you should see your primary doctor immediately

Question 10

fell and hit my head on my eyebrows.some bruising around one eye. no other symptoms apart from swelling.is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Normal vs. abnormal: It is not exactly normal to fall, hit one's head, or bruise one's peri-orbital area. However, after falling and hitting one's eyebrow, it often happens that the blood from the bruise spreads downward around the eye, due to gravity, so that within a day there will be bruising on the bottom of the eye area too. It should all self-resolve, but the eyebrow impact point may have a bit of scarring.
