What can I do about swollen eyelids?

Patient's question:

For a long time, after waking up, my eyelids have been swollen, and it takes a long time to recover. In the past, it was only occasionally that my eyelids would swell after drinking a lot of water before bed or eating something. But now, it's like this every morning. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Eye swelling can be relieved by applying chilled milk. Alternatively, you can place chamomile tea bags in the refrigerator to cool them down and then apply them to the eyelids, which also has a soothing effect. However, the ultimate solution is to avoid drinking too much water before bed. Alternatively, using a higher pillow while sleeping can reduce the likelihood of eye swelling. You can also massage the eyelid skin by placing your middle finger and ring finger on your eyebrows and gently sliding them down to your temples. This can help improve the condition. But be gentle—too much pressure can easily cause fine lines.
