A member asked:

Hi. my eye started to swell up yesterday evening around 4pm. j took an allergen and ibupain. at 8:15pm and slept. my eye is still a bit swollen not like last night. i did not hurt it. there is a bit of pain and it is watering a abit.

Eye swelling: .Despite some improvement, I still think a physician or ophthalmologist should examine you for diagnosis and treatment. Since only one eye is involved and there is pain,I'm reluctant to blame allergies or angioedema.. Also associated pain suggests inflammation or a possible eyelid infection.
