Insufficient sleep, genetics, and illness can all lead to swollen eyelids, and symptomatic treatment is needed to improve them. Swollen eyelids caused by insufficient sleep do not require treatment, and the condition will improve after the patient has rested well. If the swollen eyelids are caused by genetics or illness, general treatment methods are often ineffective, and surgical treatment can be performed, which will have a more obvious therapeutic effect. What are the methods to improve swollen eyelids? 1. To eliminate swollen eyelids, they can generally be eliminated through massage. 2. Use the middle and ring fingers of both hands to gently massage the upper eyelid area, from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner, repeating the rubbing motion to effectively relax tense muscles. Then, use the index and middle fingers of both hands, starting from the outer corner of the eye to the inner corner, massage in a clockwise circular motion. What are the causes of swollen eyelids? 1. Genetic inheritance: Swollen eyelids may be related to genetic inheritance. If there is a family history of swollen eyelids in one's parents, children are more likely to experience symptoms of eyelid swelling. 2. Physiological factors: Staying up late, drinking a large amount of water before bed, or sleeping with a pillow that is too low can cause poor circulation in the facial blood system, resulting in swollen eyelids after waking up. Applying ice packs and adjusting sleep habits can alleviate the swelling. 3. Disease factors: If a patient suffers from kidney disease, blood disease, heart disease, or other such illnesses, it can also easily lead to symptoms of eyelid swelling. At the same time, if the patient's eyes have chronic inflammation, it may also cause eye congestion and swelling.
