What do i do for swelling of my face and eyes due to contact with poison ivy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See MD: A recent event with poison ivy, especially involving the eyes can be very painful. Many docs will put patients on a ultra short course of prednisone, that should get you through the acute phase. Call, and feel better!
