Can Burning Sensation In Eyes And Vagina Be The Side Effects Of Silver Sulfadiazine Cream?

i had surgery to release carpal tunnel, a few days after surgery the dr gave me silver sulfadiazine cream to apply to the area twice daily. i have since experienced a little burning in both eyes and a rash on my left eye and eyelid. i am also experiencing vaginal burning which feels something like a yeast infection. could these be side effects from the cream?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is not likely that the cream is the cause, it should not cause such a wide spread response.

If the burning and rash continue, you would need to be assessed for treatment.
Topical or oral treatments are available for yeast infections and topical treatment would be used for the rash on the face.

I hope this helps
