Is it normal for my eyes to stay swollen for long periods of time after crying?

Anytime I cry, my eyes stay swollen for AGES! When I cry, my eyes stay swollen for about 30 hours, and then they slowly go back to normal. They aren't badly swollen, just enough to make my eyes look really small. This hasn't always happened though. IIN?

    I am a little confused, if your eyes were swollen, then wouldn't they appear to look larger? Unless you were talking about your pupil/iris looking smaller because of the rest of your eyeball being swollen/larger. Anyway, to address your question, I do not think that it is normal for your eyes to stay swollen THAT long after crying.

    Oh, my eyes stay slightly swollen for about 6 hours, and my skin gets blotchy for about 4 hours! It sucks! And my nose is clogged for 2 weeks! ;(
