XII.III.MMXVI: Swollen Eye!

United States
December 4, 2016 1:43am CST
I woke up with a swollen left eye! I must have rubbed my eye. I applied heat, used eye drops, washed my eyes with baby shampoo and normally my home remedies would cure my swollen eye by now but it hasn't. I am hoping tomorrow the swelling will go down! Besides my eye annoyance, I had a pretty productive Saturday. I cleaned the house (re-organized, vacuumed) and then my boyfriend and I got a lot of errands completed. Overview of what we did today: • Sears - I picked up some online orders. I bought a 3 piece outfit set for my niece (pea coat, onesie, pants), firefighter shirt for my nephew, construction truck toy set for my nephew, garden leather gloves for my dad, and a heart sterling silver toe ring for myself. I still have a few more orders that hasn't arrived to the store for pick up. • DSW - I picked up online orders - Aldo flip flops for my boyfriend and Lucky Brand socks for me! • Whole Foods - We went grocery shopping! And in honor of National Cookie Weekend (it's tomorrow December 4th), Whole Foods had freshly baked cookies for only a quarter, so we bought 3! They're normally $1.25 each, so that was a steal! • Target - Stocked up on essentials (water, oral hygiene - mouthwash, dental floss, toothpaste) Overall: I had a much better day than yesterday that's for sure! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

@AbbyGreenhill I bought some Martha Stewart ones but I guess I need to fluff it or something. They're hypoallergenic though.

I am sorry to hear that. Perhaps using some eyedrops which can fight the allergies and remember not to touch your eyes with hands. I hope you will get well soon. I can understand how annoying it is. Especially for such a pretty young lady like you

@infatuatedbby Perhaps you can wear sunglasses in these few days when your eye gets well

Sorry about your swollen eye. I hope it is not a Stye. My son had one of those when he was young and it was painful for him.

I hope your eye feels better soon. Allergies cause me eye problems at times.

I used to get swollen eyes when I sprayed the duster thing at my work before. But I think I got them from the new pillows I just got.

Oh gosh. Try ice instead of heat. And antihistamine to decrease the swelling. All the best with your eye.

Sometimes, swollen eyes can be something serious: have it checked?

I have gotten my eyes checked for being swollen a few times, they said it must have gotten dust or something ~ eye drops should help. My home remedies (hot water on a cloth to the eye) was recommended & usually does the trick!

I am sorry for your swollen eye, try not to rub it and do not touch the other eye if you touch the swollen one. It could only be an allergy or it could be conjunctivitis.

Putting a cool, wet cloth has helped my eyes before when I've had the same problem. I just applied pressure with the cloth as soon as it was cool.

I have always used hot cloth and it'd work. But when I clean with baby soap - I use cool. I am going to wash my eye again, both hot and cool helps soothe it but I hope it goes down, thank you for the tip
