A member asked:

My boyfriends left eye has been swollen & puffy . but only under his left eye. what can we do.? its been 2 days. but it is watering bad .

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stye: This is most likely a stye. Treat him with very warm (not hot) soaks 4-5 times per day for several days. If that does not improve things, then see an ophthalmologist to eliminate other possibilities.
