A member asked:

What if the whole eye is swollen... and eye upper lid is puffy and looks full of fluid what do you do?

Get immediate help: You may have an allergic reaction. You didn't mention redness or pain so I don't suspect infection. Have a clinician examine you. An allergic reaction can be treated in the office; otherwise, if necessary, you can be referred to a specialist.
