Check "salicylate intolerance". I think this is what I have. It says puffy eyes as a symptom.

Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for reaching out to us with your swollen, red eyelid dilemma. It must be frustrating to use all these products and have weekly allergy shots but no relief.
Does the swelling decrease during the day? Has a physician ever considered an infection to be the cause? Do your eyelids itch?
Have you seen an ophthalmologist?
Allergies are the most common cause of swollen eyelids. However, in addition to an eye infection, swelling of the eyelids can be a sign of a more serious, potentially sight-threatening health problem, such as orbital cellulitis, Graves' disease and ocular herpes.
Regards,
