Welcome to EmpowHER. Swelling can result from infections, allergic reaction or other more serious conditions. If it's due to an allergic reaction it can last for a short time and disappear quickly. Eyelid swelling that develops over time and occurs along with additional symptoms may be a sign of a more serious condition, such as hyperthyroidism (Graves’ disease) or infection. It important to see a doctor and let him know of all your symptoms.
