Can someone help me with my eye?

Last night my eye felt like it got something in it, so i put a cool cloth on it. And it went back to normal. But then my other eye felt like this now and it bothered me so bad and i rubbed it alot, and it got watery and sore. Then when i woke up it wasnt all the way open and it is really swollen. It looks horrible. what can i do about my eye to get it back to normal? How long will it take? If i put a cold cloth on it and take a nap will it be better? Plzzz help!!!
Answer:
Sounds like an allergic reaction...a doctor would be the one to determine this of course.Instead of the COLD compresses I would suggest using Hot or Warm compresses.
I had my first "Sty" a couple of weeks ago and after checking around the internet, followed suggestions to apply a HOT compress frequently during the day...in about a day or two it was gone.btw...these are your EYES...don't mess with taking any chances that something seriously could be wrong. If you feel whatever you have is beyond the normal allergic reaction, get yourself to an Emergency Clinic or doctor right away!

It's best to see a doctor who can give you a real diagnosis and treatment.

You have irritated it and possibly caused some kind of damage...can't say having not seen your eye. You need to put ice in the cloth and if the swelling doesn't go down in an hour or so you may have to see a doctor. Don't wait too long if the swelling doesn't go down after a couple of hours of using cold cold compresses. You might want to see one anyway...what you describe could be symptoms of something that will require treatment.

you need to stop what you are doing and go to your doctor.Somethings forien that gets into the eye is un-
detectable.Example: I had a piece of plastic(clear)in my eye
that i couldn't see in the mirror.I had to go to my doctor and let him figure it out.

It sounds like you have an allergy to something. My sister had this problem for years, one eye, or both would just swell up all of a sudden and sometimes so badly she could barely see out of them. It is very embarassing, but after a while of cold compresses, they would go away. Finally she went to a doctor and discovered that she has an allergy to something, and sure enough, she would only get them when she would drink milk or have ice cream... so she is allergic to milk. Perhaps you are also allergic to something. It could be food, pollen, or even your makeup. Seeing a doctor would definately be your best bet. If this is not an allergy, your doctor can diagnose this problem properly, and if it is an allergy, your doctor can help you try to figure out what it is, or if you would like, take a blood sample, test it, and tell you what you are allergic to. If this is the same issue my sister has had, it will go away on its own in no less than a day (the less you touch it or put things on it which can irritate your very delicate skin, the quicker it will go away), but for saftey reason, I would go to the doctor regardless! Good luck and take care!

You probably have pink eye. every pink eye is differant, so go to your doctor to get the right eye drops. Belive me, when i got pink eye, i put in some store brand pink-eye "cure" drops and it made them worse. Go to your doctor.1. DO NOT PICK AT IT
2 DO NOT TOUCH YOUR EYE THEN TOCH THE OTHER EYE
3 GO TO YOUR DOCTOR
4 PUT EYE DOPS IN AS PERSCRIBED, NO LESS NO MORE
5 FEEL BETTER : )

Since it's both eyes, it probably has nothing to do with something being in your eyes. It's a lot more likely that you have some sort of infection. You can try the compresses for the swelling and maybe a little saline eyewash if you still think that something's in it, but only do this till you can get to an eyedoctor. It's not very expensive to go to an eye doctor for this sort of thing usually, especially if you have insurance. If you don't want to take anyone on here for their word, call an eye doctor, give them your symptoms, ask them what to do. Most likely they will tell you to come right in. If they happen to schedule an appointment for later in the day, or the next day, consider switching doctors. And if you're still wanting to go to this particular one, make sure to ask what you should be doing in the meantime for your eyes. Take some benadryl too. It won't hurt you if it's not an allergic reaction, as long as you've taken it before and you know how your body reacts to it. If you know your body is ok with it, then take a dose and wait to see if the swelling seems to be affected by it. But still go to see an eye doctor. Some eye doctor's can even tell you if it's an allergy and prescribe something for it...
