Hi, I understand your concern. It must be a food allergy reaction. Please be careful next time you consume any sea food. Specially any shrimp variety. If you experience any similar reactions, please stop consuming it any further. The swelling of the eyes in general takes 3-5 days to decrease. You can follow the below conservative approach. 1. Apply little cool compression on the eyes. 2. Emadine eye drops twice a day for 2-3 days (this may cause little dryness of eyes). 3. Refresh tears drops twice a day to avoid dryness. In case there is no much relief in 3 days, please take a consultation. Hope this helps.
