Ten days ago I went to the beach and got a burn, but not one of those burns that really hurt or are very noticeable. The next few days, I began to notice swelling above and below my eyes. A few days later, I got really sick. I went to the doctors and they tested me for mono and everything you can think of. My sickness is slowing down, but the puffiness around my eyes is still there. What can I do to get rid of the swelling? Thanks!
