Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Eyelids

Hello,

I have recently gone to the Ophthalmologist concerning my slightly swollen eye lids. It was determined I have Blephoritis and prescribed a eye drop called Azithronycin. I have been using these eye drop for 3 days and the eye lips infection seems to be worse. What do I do?

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having blepharitis.
The treatment you are on in the form of azithromycin eye ointment is in right direction you need to continue it.
Along with this lid scrubs are required for rapid relief.
Blepharitis is a chronic condition and it requires treatment for 3-6 months.
Hence I advice you to continue treatment asadvised.

Thank you
