Suggest Treatment For Accidental Explosion Of Bleach In Eye

I was dying my sisters hair the other night, and when I went to clean up the bleach and dye, the bleach had exploded into my right eye. I began immediately washing out my eye, but now the skin around my eye is swollen. It looks like I have a black eye. How long does the swelling last? I have a party in two weeks, and I don t want to show up with a swollen eye. Please help me find my answer. It would mean a lot. Thank you so much.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Chemicals and cosmetics have different compositions and pH. pH may be less than or greater than 7 meaning its acidic or basic. You had washed your eyes with plenty of water thats good. Now use natural tear drops 2 drop×BD, topical chlorpheniramine drops 2 drops × BD, oral anti allergic like tablet tablet chlorpheniramine 10 mg × PO × BD. If available you can use comination droos like Chlorpheniramine (Maleate) 0.1%w/v + Tetrahydrozoline (HCl) 0.05%w/v, 2 drops ×BD in eyes. If condition worsens contact an eye soecialist.
