Is It Safe To Take Telfast For Swelling In Eyes?
Good morning, We are currently in Bali and I have woken with a swollen eye.Just above my eye is swollen causing me to only being able to open it half way. There is no pain and my sight seems to be ok.I am concerned as I am in Bali and don t want to get any diseases.I have taken telfast just in case it is an allergic reaction however I have never been allergic to anything before... Should I seek medical attention?

Thank for contacting HCM. You are currently in Bali and noticed swelling of the eyes. This sounds like you have an allergic reaction and you can take the telfast to help reduce the swelling. I would also recommend cold compresses too. If your eye becomes red with discharge then you may have pink eye and need an antibiotic eye drops to stop the infection
