A 24-year-old male has noticed that his eyelids often swell. He is unsure if it’s a disease or lack of sleep. What are the possible causes of upper eyelid swelling?
Answer
There can be many causes of upper eyelid swelling, such as heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney problems. Endocrine disorders, thyroid issues, rheumatism, allergies, and functional edema are also possible causes. It is advisable to seek a detailed examination at a hospital as soon as possible for an accurate diagnosis. If the doctor cannot find the cause, you can also consider seeking traditional Chinese medicine for differential treatment, using traditional Chinese herbs for treatment.
