While gardening, i poked the skin to the right of my eye with a weed (stem from a daisy). the skin around my eye is very swollen-puffy. how do i treat?

Plants: have irritants plus dirt on them I would use a warm compress and if it remains swollen see your doctor as you may need antibiotics if itchy take an OTC antihistamine

Treat conservatively: as suggested but if signs worsen then go to your physician in the event that the skin becomes infected and a cellulitis develops. Low probability but possible.
