Yes: The conjunctiva is the outer lining of the eyeball AND the inner lining of he eyelid. So, the infection very commonly causes the lids to swell. The will surely resolve as the infection clears. It may days or a week or so, but you should notice gradual improvement. To speed up he process try sleeping with your head elevated.
