Patient's question:
I am 24 years old, male. Recently, I have noticed that my eyelids are always swollen, and I don't know if it's because of an illness or lack of sleep. What are the reasons for swollen eyelids?Doctor's answer:
There are multiple reasons for swollen eyelids, such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys can all cause it. Other causes include imbalances in qi and blood, hypothyroidism, endocrine disorders, rheumatism, allergies, and functional edema. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis. If the cause cannot be identified, traditional Chinese medicine can be used for syndrome differentiation and treatment with herbal remedies. Daily routines should include regular sleep patterns, keeping warm, consuming light and soft foods, ensuring good ventilation, and drinking plenty of hot water to prevent the condition from recurring.
