Swollen eyelid??: Most likely in the dark a flying insect stung you and you are reacting to it. If the reaction is of an allergic nature take an OTC antihistamine such as Benadryl (diphenhydramine)(frequently makes you tired); or one of the non-sedating OTC antihistamines Zyrtec(cyterazine) or Claritine (loratidine). If on the other hand it has gotten infected then you will have to see your doc for an antibiotic.
