Suggest Medicine For Periorbital Cellulitis In My Left Eyelid?
Hi, I have been looking around on Google and I'm about 99% sure that I have periorbital cellulitis in my left upper eyelid. I was wondering if that will go away on its own? I know that it's better to just take the antibiotics and get rid of it but I have a very small budget. I cannot afford a doctor's visit right now. Thanks!

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having periorbital cellulitis of eye lid.
This indicates infection if the sift tissues if the eye in front of the orbital septum.
The treatment is by use of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs.
Since periorbital cellulitis can become orbital cellulitis by posterior extension it requires treatment with oral antibiotics.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
