A member asked:
Is it better to take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for a swollen/puffy eyelid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: At your age the most likely diagnosis is a stye in evolution. You can apply heat frequently to treat this. Aceaminophen is just for pain and will have little effect on the lids. Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory but not useful for lid swelling.
