Does Flucloxacillin For Cellulitus Cause Any Eye Irritations?
I'm on flucloxacillin for cellulitus on my one leg. It has been caught in the beginning stages and already started clearing up in the first 2 days. However I'm experiencing swelling of the face. My eyes a severely blood shot on the outer corners and they feel sore. I have a history of reacting to medications.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are using flucloxacillin for cellulitis of leg. Flucloxacillin is an antibiotic and it usually does not lead to eye irritation.
The eye problem can be co existing infection of the eye and it requires treatment by antibiotic eye drops or eye ointments.
Thank you
