A member asked:

How to treat swelling under my eye ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on the cause: Depends on the cause. The starting treatment is usually warm compresses (clean washcloth and warm water) to the closed eyelids for 5 minutes 4 times daily. If it does not respond quickly, or if it worsens in any way, see an eye doctor asap.
