To avoid complications, see an eye care professional if the swelling persists for more than 24 to 48 hours. However, you can also treat swollen eyelids at home, especially if they are caused by non-infectious causes such as fluid retention or allergies. To be sure, launching from Healthline, the following are treatment options that depend on the cause, such as:
Pink eye (conjunctivitis)
It is the result of a bacterial, viral, or allergic infection that causes inflammation of the surface of the eye. How to treat it, you can clean sticky and crusty eyelids with warm water and cotton. While healing, avoid touching your eyes and keep your pillowcases clean. Also, stop using eye cosmetics and contact lenses first!
Chalazion (style)
It usually causes a tender lump on the eyelid with localized swelling around the blocked gland. It may become red or inflamed. It will take several weeks to heal. How to cure it can use warm compresses to relieve and promote healing. Do this three to five times a day. Avoid using makeup when you have chalazion.
Crying
If your eyelids are swollen from crying, try washing your face before bed. Don’t go to work tomorrow morning, friends laugh at your swollen eyes.

Cellulitis
In periorbital or orbital cellulitis, the skin around the eyes will be red and may be painful. You need antibiotics to relieve this swelling.
Allergy
Make sure to stay indoors if allergies are the culprit. You can use antihistamine eye drops. For a severe allergic reaction, you may need prescription eye drops or oral antihistamines can also help.
Some people prefer to see a doctor immediately so they can get an accurate diagnosis and, if necessary, give antibiotics. Always see a doctor if the lump or swelling doesn’t improve after a week or if the swelling gets worse.
