What Causes Redness And Swelling Around The Eyes Despite Taking Tetracycline?

For 2months the skin around my eyes is red, swollen and itchy. I was on prednisone for 2 weeks and it cleared up but as soon as I finished the prescription it came back in 48 hours. The doctor now has me on tetrecyclin for for 6 weeks but so far after 1 week there is still no change. The skin around my eyes is red and looks bumpy on the lids at times. I never had any allergies and have stopped using any eyes products. Vaseline does help to make it comfortable but it is getting very frustrating now and I do not know what else to do.

Hi,

As per your history is concerned it is due to orbital cellulites so take following medications:

1) Take[ CEZOLIN IM one gram]once a day until infection controls

2) If Pus forms then surgical drainage is required

3) Check your TSH and Full blood count with differential

Follow me if any doubt arises. I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you all the best.

Thanks,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
