Ive had bad allergies for years and for the past few weeks, ive been waking up with usually one eye, but sometimes both, swollen almost shut. the past few weeks, it happens almost everyday. i take benadryl, doesnt help a lot, swells up next day?

Now might be a great time to consult with an allergist. No need to suffer. An allergist can test as to what triggers your symptoms and provide the appropriate course of treatment.

In addition to allergies, too much salt intake, too little sleep, tendency to rub your eyes are other causes to consider. If allergies are the culprit, think of possible triggers,like cosmetics, makeup,eyeglasses,hairspray, Try taking the Benadryl at bedtime.
