Mabelen Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Can environmental allergies cause only one eye to swell? My dd has complained in the last couple of weeks that one eye is itching occasionally, which I have put down to a possible ragweed allergy. Last night she slept over at a friend’s. Her friend lives in a more rural part of town and apparently they slept with the window open. She woke up with a swollen eye and took an oral antihistamine in the morning, which helped quite a bit. She has also washed her eye, and put antihistamine drops in it, but the eye is still red and a bit swollen. Could it be something else? Tomorrow she has water polo practice and I don’t know what we should do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 It sounds like allergies to me. If the antihistamine seems to help, then she is likely good-to-go. I would continue with the antihistamines for a dose past when it seems to be better. Sometimes when my eye is itchy I can rinse it with tap water to stop it before it gets worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
