Why is my eyelid swelling up, plus it hurts to blink?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See an eye Dr.: Pain on blinking can be caused by a number of things from infectious to infection to foreign body. These conditions can also cause the lid to swell. Remove contact lenses if you use them. If there is no relief see an eye doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
