Students who have swollen eyes may be caused by staying up late for a long time, and may also be caused by eye allergies, infections, and eye trauma. Patients can be treated with physical therapy and medication to promote the swelling to subside.
If the patient has been up late for a long time, eyelid swelling can occur, generally do not need special treatment, after adjusting work and rest can be relieved. Patients with eye trauma can apply local cold compresses to the eyelids in the early stage, and hot compresses to the eyes after 48 hours. Ice compresses help to shrink the capillaries, which helps to prevent edema from aggravating, and hot compresses help the capillaries absorb the intertissue fluid into the bloodstream, which promotes swelling to subside and relieves discomfort.
Due to eye allergies or infections and other causes of ocular edema, patients can use anti-allergy medication such as loratadine and antibiotic medication such as levofloxacin eye drops under the guidance of a doctor, to control inflammation and relieve eye discomfort.
It is recommended that patients with significant ocular edema should consult a doctor promptly to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
