Suggest Treatment For Itching And Swelling Of The Eyes
I am allergic to something that makes my eyes swell and turn completely red and itchy. I was put on 40mg of Pendizone last Monday for 5 days. They cleared up within 3 days but, now I am off and my eyes are swollen again as of Sunday morning. This was the 4 episode in the last eight months...it usually went away by itself but not this last time...I had to go into the doctor..What should I do go back in or what?

Hi,
Sounds unresolved viral infection of the conjunctiva.
Primary relief with ice pack application and tepid sponging, but requires antihistamine, antiviral, antibiotic drops to heal faster and prevent secondary bacterial infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel,
General & Family Physician
