Question
For a long time, there has been frequent swelling around the eyes upon waking up, which takes some time to recover. In the past, swelling of the eyelids occurred only occasionally after consuming a large amount of water or food before bedtime. However, now this happens every morning. How should it be handled?
Answer
Eye swelling can be relieved by applying a cold compress with frozen milk. Alternatively, placing a chamomile tea bag in the refrigerator to cool it down and then placing it on the eyelids can also help reduce swelling. However, the ultimate solution is to avoid consuming excessive amounts of water before bedtime. Or, sleeping with a higher pillow can reduce the chance of eye swelling. Additionally, you can perform eye drainage and firmness massage. The specific technique is to place the middle finger and ring finger on the eyebrows and slowly glide them to the temple for massage, which can help improve swelling. But be careful not to apply too much pressure to avoid fine lines.
