Can Sushi Food Cause Redness Of Eyes, Cold Symptoms, Etc.?

Last week I went to the spa and then ate at a sushi restaurant. The next day my right eye began to itch and I had a slight red color on the eyelid. I also developed cold like symptoms... sore throat and runny nose. The itchiness has spread to the left eye, although I do not see any red... in or on my eyelid, it still is mildly itchy, What could it be?

Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

Your symptoms looks like chlamydia infection which spreads at the the time of spa.

You should wash your eyes regularly four times a day with clean water.

You can take azithromycin tablet 500 mg once a day for seven day, under your doctors guidance.

Avoid sharing of napkeens with other family members till you got completely treated.

I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
