A member asked:

How can i reduce swelling on side of the eye injury for my son?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Cold compresses: Not sure the eye injury, but should have it checked out. If it's just tissue edema, then resting, time, cold compresses will help it reabsorb (as long as no underlying medical problems).
