    Wrap a washcloth over an ice cube and apply to your lid. You should see the swelling go down in a few minutes. Or, apply something else that's cold and calming. Cool cucumbers work well and smell great!

    If you sleep on your side it can cause one eye to swell. If this is the problem, switch to sleeping on your back with your head elevated by a couple of pillows. If this is not the problem it could be an allergy or infection. Hooded eyes would require surgery to correct. I recommend that you see a doctor.

    Steep 2 tea bags in warm water for a few minutes, cool them in the fridge, and then hold them on your eyelids for about 20 minutes. The caffeine and tannins found in most teas will reduce swelling!
