What Is The Treatment For Tearing Swollen Itching Eye And Eyelid?

Yes, that would be great. Yesterday my right eye starting to tear, or so I thought, until I looked at my tissue and saw that it was not clear. Now my upper lid is swollen and pink. It also itches and sometimes feels like it's burning a bit. My husband felt my head a few minutes ago and I believe I also have a fever, and I'm a bit clammy. However, I've had a sore throat and cough since last Monday and can't seem to get better even though I'm taking a few over the counter remedies, i.e. lozenges, tussin, Tylenol, etc., nothing major. I didn't know there would be a charge. We have free walk in clinics here. Unfortunately our weather is abominable.....0's and below, so I was trying to avoid going out. Thanks for your time. Sorry we couldn't work it out.

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
If there is lots of yellowish discharge and your lids are stuck shut by discharge then most probably you are suffering from infectious conjunctivitis... but do visit an ophthalmologist coz it could be many other things as well.. you can use antibiotic ( plain - without steroid in them ) like ofloxacin or ciprofloxacin until u visit an ophthalmologist
