What Do Itching And Swelling In The Right Eye Lid Indicate?
My right eye lid (lower) is itchy, swollen, and red and my eye is always bloodshot. I am currently on tobramycin - 4 drops per day. Have completed 4 days with no relief. The itching is driving me nuts. I don t think I have a bacterial infection. What can I do.
