i'm sorry to hear this elderly lady is going through this. the symptom you describe is worth at least a call to the patient's primary care physician. if she develops sudden difficulty breathing or swelling of the lips or tongue you need to call 911 for immediate medical attention. if the situation has been going on for some time this lady needs to be seen by a health care provider. a number of conditions can cause swollen eyelids and it's important for her to be examined in order to get a correct diagnosis. if the problem came on suddenly i would suspect an allergic reaction. this could be caused by a new medication a new soap an animal in the house bedbugs or many other things. if the situation doesn't clear up quickly then a visit to the doctor is in order. again: if this lovely elder lady develops any life-threatening symptoms please seek emergency medical attention immediately. wishing you all the best!
