JAKARTA - Dermatologist Dr. Arini Astasari Widodo, SpKK said, looking up is one way to determine whether a person's protrusion is a puffy eye or not.

buy eyes are swelling conditions around the eyes caused by allergies, infections, mostly consuming alcohol or salt.

"Try to look up, if he gets worse, it's a fat (gloomy). But if it's the same (jokes under the eyes) it's probably a liquid or a puffy eye," he said at a health event, according to ANTARA, Friday, September 16.

Arini mentions a number of characteristics of the condition of the puffy eye, namely the lumps that do not have a firm limit, sometimes appear bluish, conditions get worse in the morning so that it looks like squint or sembab. Women who are in periods of menstruation, allergies and too much consumption of foods with the salt can be the cause of this condition.

According to Arini, to overcome the puffy eyes, a person can do a cold compress on the eyes. This method can help blood vessels not widen.

"The liquid will be less around the eyes, so it's not too puffy," said Arini, who also advised the owner of the puffy eyes to limit salt intake and treat eye areas.

Health experts advise people with puffy eyes to place a cold cloth, or hold a bag of frozen vegetables wrapped in towels over the eyes to help reduce the accumulation of fluid that causes swelling. Another way is to reduce sugar (which can increase inflammation throughout the body, including the eyes), drink lots of water, avoid alcoholic beverages and try to use antihistamine to treat allergies that can cause swelling.

During the day, the body keeps making tears so that it keeps the eyes clean. The body does not stop removing tears when we sleep, even though the eyes stop shaking. This means that the tears remain in the eyes, without being channeled through the tears. Sometimes, this excess fluid is reabsorbed to the tissue around the eyes, causing swelling.
