Swollen eyelids usually occur in the following two situations: First, eye fatigue is usually caused by excessive use of the eyes, such as long-term contact with electronic products such as computers and mobile phones, and bad living habits such as staying up late for a long time. It is recommended to maintain good eye-using habits to avoid the above situation. In addition, local hot compress can be given. The symptoms will generally improve on their own, and the recovery time will take about 2-3 weeks. The second is a local allergic reaction of the eyelids, such as contact blephadermatitis. In this case, local cold compresses and antihistamines and glucocorticoids can be used. To keep the eyelids clean, you can use saline or boric acid lotion to apply local wet compresses. In addition, systemic diseases such as kidney disease can also cause eyelid swelling, so it is recommended that you also need to go to a nephrology department to rule out kidney disease. The eyelids are one of the loosest parts of the body's subcutaneous tissue, so they are prone to edema. For example, rubbing your eyes can cause eyelid edema. In addition, drink a lot of water before going to bed, use pillows that are too low when sleeping, and lie on your side for a long time while sleeping, which can compress one eye. Eyes may cause eyelid edema. Therefore, if eyelid edema occurs currently, you must first pay attention to improving your living habits. Do not rub your eyes, do not drink a lot of water before going to bed, try to lie flat when sleeping, and use a higher pillow, which can generally improve it.
If it cannot improve, you need to go to the hospital for an eye examination to see if there are any lesions in the orbit, such as dacryoadenitis, lacrimal gland prolapse, orbital fat prolapse, etc. If it is caused by these reasons , usually it is necessary to make eyelid swelling subside through drug or surgical treatment. If the eye examination is normal, you need to go to the internal medicine department for further examination to rule out cardiogenic edema and nephrogenic edema. For example, a cardiac color ultrasound examination can be done to rule out abnormal heart function. If it causes edema, blood tests should be done to test kidney function to rule out nephrogenic edema.
