why is my eye swollen - #7491

Lately, I’ve noticed that my eye has been swollen for the past few days, and I can’t figure out why. It’s not painful, but it’s definitely a little puffy, especially around the lower eyelid. I’ve never had issues with my eyes before, and I’m not sure what could have caused it. I’ve been really careful with my skin care lately, and I’ve avoided any new products or makeup, so it seems strange to me. I did have a mild cold last week, but I didn’t think that would cause my eye to swell up. I’m not sure if I should be worried about this. I haven’t been in contact with anyone who has an eye infection, and I’m not allergic to anything that I know of. The swelling isn’t red, and it doesn’t seem like there’s any discharge or other signs of infection, but I’ve been getting a bit concerned that maybe I’m missing something. Should I be worried about my swollen eye, or is this something that happens sometimes? Could it be related to something like sinus issues or a reaction to the cold I had? I know people sometimes get swollen eyes from crying or lack of sleep, but I’ve been getting enough rest and haven’t been too emotional. Could it be a sign of something more serious, like an eye infection or something with my tear ducts? I’ve also been wondering if this could be an allergy reaction, but I can’t think of anything I’ve been exposed to recently that might cause it. I was hoping you could explain the possible reasons why my eye is swollen and how I can treat it at home, or if I need to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis. Is there any medication or eye drops I should try, or should I just keep an eye on it for a few more days?
