How do you get the swelling to go down on eyelid?

Question:

I have been bitten by something on my eyelid that itches. My lid is swelling up and itches. What can I put on my eye? or how do I get the swelling to go down?

Answers:
Hi there,

Wet teabags on the eyelids are good. You can try cucumber slices,also, check - are you drinking lots of alcohol, eating lots of salty foods? Witch hazel is a mild astringent that is good to put on a cotton pad and put on the lid.

Also remember that drinking lots of water can help and heal you faster.

If itching continues you might want to go see an opthamologist.

Good Luck,
