A member asked:
Is ice pack and warm pack both helpful in eyelid swelling ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: This depends upon the cause. If the swelling is acute, especially if due to trauma, then icing the lids can be helpful for two or three days. If the swelling is inflammatory, infectious or has persisted for more than a couple of days, then heat is usually the best strategy.
