How is the upper eyelid swollen and itchy?

I woke up some time ago and found that my upper eyelid was swollen and itchy. I thought I didn't pay attention because I didn't sleep well. Later, it became more and more serious and I had to see a doctor. So let me talk to you about the swelling and itching of the upper eyelid, so as to better help others treat it.

Methods/steps

1, non-inflammatory eyelid swelling without congestion: eyelid skin is the thinnest part of the whole body skin, and slight edema can first be manifested as eyelid edema. The common causes are allergy, mosquito bite, angioneurotic edema, tumor compression near eyelid and orbit, lacrimal gland prolapse, ptosis and chalazion. Systemic diseases that easily cause eyelid edema include chronic nephritis, hypothyroidism, severe cough, heart failure and so on. 2, inflammatory eyelid swelling with red pain: such as eyelid furuncle, meibomian adenitis, blepharitis and so on.

Another possibility is conjunctival inflammation caused by excessive internal heat, and there may also be cases of sty. In short, inflammation is possible and must be treated with anti-inflammatory therapy or traditional Chinese medicine decoction. From my experience, Chinese medicine decoction has the best conditioning effect. You can consider oral Chinese medicine decoction combined with Chinese medicine eye washing or external application, the effect will be better.

Inflammation of eyelid margin is chronic inflammation of eyelid margin. Blepharitis can be caused by bacteria, seborrheic dermatitis or local allergic reaction, and often coexist. Treatment should first remove the cause, avoid all stimulating factors, correct ametropia, pay attention to nutrition and exercise, treat other chronic diseases in the whole body, and take this as an opportunity to improve all aspects of the body.
