What should I do if my lower eyelid is swollen and painful, and blinking hurts?

Patient's question:

I am 31 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 should I do if my lower eyelids are swollen, painful, and it hurts to blink?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, it is possible that the condition may be caused by keratitis. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the cause and receive targeted treatment. Cold compresses can be applied, or physiological saline can be used to clean and alleviate symptoms. Medications can also be used for treatment. Enhance care, pay attention to eye hygiene to prevent infection, get adequate rest, avoid overwork or excessive strain, and use your eyes appropriately. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to boost their immunity and prevent the recurrence of the condition.
