Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
What you describe seems like acute unilateral ptosis. Acute ptosis is often associated with other causes such as "Horner syndrome", brain pathology, chest pathology or a localised growing mass.
The treatment suggested by your second doctor - defcort (steroid) is appropriate.
In addition to these drugs, I would be interested in knowing if you have performed any investigations. Routine blood test, MRI scans and thorough eye examination is essential and important in your case.
Discuss with your neuro-ophthalmologist for proper management.
Hope this helps.
Wish you a speedy recovery
Best regards
