Brief Answer:
You need to consult cardiologist.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic
I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that your mother is having redness of the eye following treatment for paralytic attack.
The redness of the eye is most probably because of subconjunctival hemorrhage. This can occur either because of Ecosprin because of its anticoagulant properties or because of cough.
This will resolve slowly as the blood gets absorbed and no need to be worried about this condition and no treatment is required for this.
Currently your mother is on treatment for cough and difficulty in breathing. You need to consult your cardiologist after getting the investigations like chest X-ray and Echo as advised by him.
Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
