A member asked:
My daughters bottom eyelid keeps swelling 1st happened this a.m. there is no crust or running i gave her benadryl (diphenhydramine). should i give her amoxicillin?

Examination needed: There may be a blocked duct in the lid causing the swelling. Have your physician examine her for diagnosis and the proper treatment. If necessary he/ she may recommend an evaluation by an ophthalmologist. In the meantime try warm water applications. I don't recommend starting amoxicillin.
