What Causes Crusty Eyelids And Constant Drainage?

I had sever flu like symptoms after taking actonel and also sever eye inflammation which included crusty eyelids and constant drainage. Went to doctor and he took me off actonel, gave me some antibiotic ointment for the eye. It cleared up, but occasionally flares up. If this is caused by actonel, how long will I be plagued by the symptoms?
