A member asked:

What to do if i have swelled up eyelid and hives, help!?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Swollen eyelids: If associated with hives, are most likely associated with allergies. You can try cold compresses and oral antihistamines to help the symptoms. If you are having any associated breathing problems or the rash is severe, then you should be seen asap by a doctor.
