    you can put cucumbers on your eyes, it'll help.

    - or put spoons in the freezer for a bit then put them on your eyes.

    - or put tea bags on top of them.

    - if all else fails, you can buy the biore cooling eye gel and put them on your eyes :]

    Swelling of the region above the eye due to allergies, late nights, or general puffiness may be treated with used teabags or cucumber slices placed over the swollen area and kept in place for half an hour. General eye and facial puffiness can be eased by splashing the face with cold water.

    I've tried it - and it works.

    Anything cold such as ice or a cold wet washcloth, cold, used tea bags, and products such as puffiness reducing cream like neutrogena's Radiance Boost Eye Cream help.

    Get plenty of rest and pile on the blankets to sweat off your cold (it really helps you to feel better!)

    Hope this helps!

    cucumber slices over your eyes.

    just slice a cucumber into thin slices and put them in the freezer and put over your eyes for a few minutes. the cucumber has something in it that lowers puffiness.

    You need to see a doctor. It might be an allergic reaction. Or maybe just your allergies. Either way you may want to see a doctor.
