Twitching below eyelid

My lower eyelid/nerve has been twitching for 5 days.. Can anyone tell me the cause for this? And help help with a remedy as well.
Answer

This can be a tic (form of involuntary muscle movement). It will come when you are anxious. If it is associated with other neurological problems or early morning vomiting, you need to get investigated. If it is not then tics are not harmful. If it is troublesome botox is the treatment choice.
