Brie: Treating Swollen Eyelid
I guess, almost every child has had this condition?
A swollen eyelid.
And really, it’s kinda hard to know how they first got it.
Did you keep rubbing your eye earlier?
Did you wash your hands before touching your eye?
Do you have friends at school who’re having swollen eyelids, too?
Note:
Right under the lid, there were two little white dots. No puss, no extra itchiness, no discharge. The lid was just, swollen. The lid felt a little heavier, I guess, and it made her feel uncomfortable.
Anyway, this was what we did to treat the swollen eyelid:
– We placed a warm towel over the swollen eyelid for about 5-10mins. Twice a day (from the day we first spotted the swelling)
– On day 2, we went to the drugstore to get Gentamicin, an eye ointment that worked well on her, the last time her eyelid was swollen (She was 2 years old). Gentamicin was out of stock though, and we were given ‘Cendo Fenicol’ eye drop.
Since we are not into using medicines/drugs, in the end we only gave Brie one drop of it a day, for 3 days.
By day 4, the swelling was 95% better! Yay!
*Thank God!*

If you have gone through similar conditions, please do share how it was treated?
Thanks, everyone! =)

I used makeup remover cotton squares, soak few of them in a bowl filled with warm water. I take one at the time like what you did with the towel. Change the cotton once it cools down. I don’t need to put any eye drop nor ointment as I prefer natural way.
I don’t use towel as it’s contagious. Repeats few times a day. It should disappear by itself in two days max depending how frequent you do it in one day
Thanks Shirley for sharing! After reading your comment, I tried using cotton squares too! 🙂 thks for the tips …
Anakku pernah ngalamin kayak gini mba, pas lagi liburan pula…bingung mau diapain, matanya sudah agak bengkak pada pagi harinya. Kita sih curiga, dianya alergi, tru kita beliin obat alergi. Eh nggak lama seteah beli obat, bengkaknya hilang. Thanks God. 🙂
Terima kasih untuk sharingnya…
Kadang ga tau juga ya, itu karena alergi, bakteri atau apa … Dari baca2 sih, bisa jg karena tersumbatnya salah satu kelenjar.
Anyway, thanks ya uda berbagi … 🙂
