Eye lid swelling: Treatment for lower eye lid swelling should start with the cause first. Most that have swelling because of irritation. Tear drops may help general irritation and if there is itching, cold compresses may be helpful. Overall, ice packs will reduce the swelling of the lower lids. Preparation h can carefully be used to tighten the skin, but care must be taken to be sure as to not get it in the eye.
