What causes swollen and painful eyelids?

Patient's question:

I am 29 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 could be the reason for swollen eyelids and pain?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, there are several reasons that can cause eyelid swelling and pain. The second reason is lack of rest, and the third is a recurrence of an eye infection. The second cause is allergies. It is recommended to identify the root cause and then address it accordingly. If the swelling is due to lack of sleep, it should improve within two days. For infections or allergies, a diagnosis is necessary before medication can be administered. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical activity to enhance their immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
