Well I'm not sure if this is the section to put this post but any help would be nice.

Last night I noticed (after washing my face with my everyday wash) that my right eye was extremely swollen.

I do not have allergies, my mother and older brother do but I never have.

I did go to the doctor before this and they gave me a chicken pox shot... maybe this has to do with it?

I tried applying water, salt water, and just sleeping but it hasn't went down at all..

Are there any ways I can get rid of this? Taking medicine, just waiting it out?

Any help is appreciated

Thank you,
Brandy

P.s.
Sorry I meant for the title to say "swollen" eye

Try and ice pack, on and off. You could have been bitten by a bug. Sensitive area.

How long has it been this way? I would call an Optometrist and ask what it could be, they'll most likely tell you to come in so that they can check it out. I would suggest going to the eye doctor and seeing what is going on. It could be a number of things. It could be pink eye. It really could be a few different things. Please seek medical attention if this persists or gets worse.

The swelling has gone down a little but its still puffy

Is the whole eye swolen? Because if it's just one section like the lower lid or the corner of the upper lid then u could have a chalazion

Some of the symptoms of a chalazion are

Eyelid tenderness
Increased tearing
Painful swelling on the eyelid
