I am just getting over m seasonal cough--all of this is the left eye and nose stopping uIp--it is all on the left side. I have some Lotemax--would this be okay to use?

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for writing to us on Health care Magic.
I reviewed your history and based on your history the response to your question is as follows.
This looks like eye infection probably secondary to cough and cold.
Lotemax is a steroid and it is better to avoid this eye drop.
I prefer to use antibiotic eye drops like Moxifloxacin eye drop one drop three to four times a day.
Use of pain killers/ analgesic tablet will provide symptomatic relief.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
