Preparation H: Preparation h for hemmorhoids works well. Make sure the ointment is not near the eyeball. Sometimes diuretics work. Also elevate your head when sleeping. Gravity may decrease peri orbital eye swelling.

Antihistamines: I would advise against preparation h close to the eyes as it can cause a conjunctival burn if used improperly. Retinol eye cream is safer. Antihistamines orally, neti pot for sinuses will often help. Fillers such as juviderm and restilane are the next step, but are surgical solutions to the problem.
