Question about my really swollen eye?

Asked by Unbroken (10746points) November 28th, 2012

I woke up my eye lid was almost completely swollen shut. I went to the urgent care doc and she said it wasn’t conjunctivis.
I took the day off prior to going.
Though she has no idea what is going on why my eye is swollen. She advices antibiotic possible infection she thinks and cool compresses fast forward 8 hours bored to death and still no response, In fact now my eye is more swollen, I am pretty sure, it’s certainly more painful and the lid is now red.
Is there anything else I could be doing for it? Should I consider seeing an eye doctor, when I pry my eye lid open vision is clear and eye is white? Or my family doc who happens to be my gastroentologist who deals with my autoimmune hepititis but knows my history? Or my naturalpath who I was seeing for advice and supplments and related problems of celiacs, but haven’t seen in a year?
How to keep entertained?
Can I justify driving with one eye, don’t other people drive this way?
Especially that I need groceries.
Best eye patch contrived from stuff found at house?
