Swollen eyelid from mosquito bite wont go down. its been two days. what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mosquito bite eyelid: Mosquito bites can cause a localized allergic response where you get a very big "bite" area. Given that this is on your eye lid, I would probably avoid any creams but you might benefit from an antihistamine pill to reduce the allergic response. You might want to try a cool pack ago- 10 min on/10 min off. Try to sleep at an incline too until swelling goes down- here gravity is your friend.

My 4 year old takes zyrtec 1 tsp and singulair 4mg every night. She got a couple mosquito bites yesterday and they are swollen. Can she have a dose of benadryl also tonight? Her left eye has also been watering for several days even with both allergy meds.
