Allergies causing swollen eye lid04/16/2008 |
Hi there, It`s that time of the year again and my allergies have been flaring up. I have started taking my Allegra 120mg once a day and I use Olopat (Olopatadine HCL 0.1) for my eyes. My sneezing is somewhat under control, but the Olopat doesn`t seem to be working for my eyes. It worked for the first week or so, but after that I don`t believe it has been that effective. I believe it maybe making my eyes worse. Does the Olopat get affected by cold or heat?I woke up this morning with my left under eye lid swollen towards the outer edge of the eye. Ice-packing helped for a few hours, but the swelling keeps coming back. I had to use steroid eye drops in the past. Not sure if I need that again? Do I continue to use the Olopat? Please advise.
Other anti-allergic eye medications are available. These contain prescription drugs so either your primary care doctor or an allergist could prescribe them.
