Cool moist compress: Take soft cloth and use cold water, apply to the closed lids; ok to use the Benadryl (diphenhydramine) every 6 hours until the swelling (and itching) subside. If you have increased swelling, wheezing, trouble breathing or swallowing, go to er immediately. Avoid Aspirin and Ibuprofen containing medications from now on. Good luck1.

See a doctor: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) was a good idea, but with that significant of a reaction, you should see a doctor without delay.
