General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

* The red-eye and swelling not resolving after 2 weeks of antibiotics is not normal and one must be vigilant to cure it.

The issue can be drug-resistant bacteria or others.

* It is best recommended to get a culture swab report of the eye discharge and further treatment accordingly to avoid further damage to the eye.

Till that time, the splashing of eyes with cold sterile water and the wearing of goggles to avoid exposure to dust and pollen is of immense importance.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
