What is causing the swelling under my left eyelid?

Swollen eyelids are a relatively normal phenomenon, and we usually do not need treatment when we have swollen eyelids, because the main cause of swollen eyelids is poor sleep. However, this is only in most cases. There are also some other reasons that can cause swollen eyelids. We also want to know the reasons for it. Let’s take a look at what’s going on with the swelling of the left lower eyelid.

Use a clean towel to wrap the ice pack or popsicle and apply it for about 15 minutes each time, and you can apply it several times a day. Then after 48 hours, change to hot compress, use a clean hot towel, or wrap a hot water bottle with a towel. Test the temperature, not too hot, apply for 20-30 minutes at a time, 3-4 times a day. Don't be bothered by it, the swelling will go away in a few days. Remember to take anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent inflammation.

If eyelid edema is accompanied by itchy eyelids, allergies should be considered. If combined with redness and pain. Then you have to consider that if there is an inflammatory infection, edema will not occur for no reason. Drinking too much water before going to bed at night or kidney disease. Pay attention to eye hygiene, watch less TV or computer, and eat more foods containing vitamins. Don’t drink too much water before going to bed, and raise your pillow a little bit, and you won’t look edematous.

Crying, insomnia, lying prone, before menstruation, pregnancy, eating too salty food, and drinking a lot of water within two hours before going to bed can all cause puffy eyelids when you wake up in the morning. Generally speaking, it can be caused by nasal polyps. It can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs. Also check for any urinary tract disease. Pay attention to maintenance. The diet should be light. It is recommended to do routine blood and urine tests, renal function tests, and color Doppler ultrasound examinations. Renal cyst is a common kidney disease in clinical practice. Some patients will feel symptoms of "low back pain" on the affected side. Some renal cysts happen to compress the ureter or the neck of the renal calyx, causing hydronephrosis and secondary infection, resulting in some symptoms. So we need to look at the specific location of the kidney cyst, but most people will not have symptoms like yours. It should still be related to nasal polyps. Although surgery has been performed, the function has not yet fully recovered.

Through the introduction above, I believe that friends should have a detailed understanding of the causes of swollen eyelids. When swollen eyelids occur, you can massage your eyes with your hands, which can also promote blood circulation. Patients with serious conditions should go to the hospital for examination, which will be safer.
