How to heal a swollen eyelid?

How do I heal my swollen eyelid fast?

• so I have rosacea(at least I think this is what I have because all the symptoms match:irritation, burning and itch etc.). i get an itch on my eyelid every now and then and whenever I have it, I scratch and my eyelid swells. it ususally goes away between three days to a month but i have an important speech in a week. how do I alleviate my eyelid? I dont get an itch anymore(nor irritation. minor burning for about 5 seconds sometimes but that's about it) but its healing very slowly for some reason. it's very important to me. Thank you so much

• Answer:

  you can try putting a warm tea bag on it for 5 minutes, sometimes cucumbers work too, a slice of one over your eyes like at the salon, they help take away puffiness, i have heard of also putting a metal spoon in the freezer and putting it on your eye. Im not sure for how long but i would say at least 5 minutes. Hope this helps!
