Suffering From Excessive Eye Blinking, Swollen Eyelids, Difficulty In Keeping Eyes Open. Cure For Symptoms?

My husband ( 60 years old ) has been suffering from excessive eye blinking, swollen eyelids and actually having a hard time keeping his eyes open to be able to see at all. It is almost like he is going blind, but happened almost over night. His eye Dr has him on an antibiotic eye drop 4 times a day, but have given no clear answer as to what might be the problem.

Hi thanks for using HCM,

The signs you are refering suggest eye lid infection. Along with eye drops you can give warm compression along with paracetamol 650 mg three times a day for preventing inflamation. If the problem does not improve by tomorrow you can start oral antibiotic. Hope you got your answer. Take care.

Regards
