My eyes swelled
shut, and stayed that way for a couple of days.

While the allergy pills help some with the eye problems, prescription allergy
eye drops work very well for a severe case like this. Alrex would quiet this
down within minutes. Patanol, Zaditor,or Optivar work well during the allergy
season and help prevent this type of severe reaction from happening. Don't know
if they are FAA approved though, I suspect they would be since there have
little side effects.
