What Causes Face Swelling And Blurred Vision After Preseptal Cellulitis Treatment?
My right side (on my face) keeps on getting swollen. I was treated for perceptual cellulitis (something like that). I had IV antibiotics and 12 days of antibiotics after that. It still keeps on swelling occasionally and the eye blurs. What could be the cause?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having swelling of the face and blurring of vision after treatment for preseptal cellulitis.
The swelling of the face is because of reactionary edema to the preseptal cellulitis.
The blurring of vision needs to evaluated to rule out associated infection or inflammation of the structures of the eye.
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
