Is something wrong with my eye?

Question

My right eye is swollen ( eye lids and below my eye in my cheek) and it keeps draining, like I'm crying constantly! It's driving me nuts. I thought it was just the wind, as it started while I was watching my son's soccer game two days ago, but it hasn't stopped running since. My left eye looks fine and has no symptoms. What could this be? I do have allergies and they are active right now. Could this be my problem? I am stuck at work and I'm getting a headache/ eyeache. Any suggestions as to what this problem is and how I can treat it from work???

Answer 1

It's probably because of your allergies, since you were outdoors when it started happening.

You may want to take allergy medication if you aren't already or talk to your doctor about starting allergy medication.

Also to help your eye from draining and swelling, flush it out with water and use possibly use eye drops to help with the eye irritation.

Be careful not to touch or rub it, your hand could cause more damage because of the bacteria on your hand.

If swelling and irritation continue you might want to see your doctor or go to the hospital because it could be something serious!

Hope this helps!

Best wishes!!

Answer 2

You could have gotten something stuck in there such as a piece of pollen or hair. Whatever it is, your eye is trying to flush it out. Or it could have gotten scratched and the eye is healing itself.

Answer 3

maybe you have allergy? DId you use the eye drops?

Answer 4

Though it COULD be allergies your best bet is to have the eye checked out ASAP.  You only have 2 eyes and you really don't want to take chances with your sight.
