Suggest Remedy For Pain And Swelling In Eye

My carnucule on my right eye is swollen and part of my sclera is red on that eye as well. What could it be? I started working as a housekeeper yesterday and might have gotten a cleaning solvent in it by accident could that be the cause? If so how do I cure it?

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having inflammation of caruncle secondary to fall of cleaning solvent. The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops and anti-inflammatory drugs. First and foremost you need to wash the eye thoroughly if you have not washed it before and the use of eye drops will take care of the condition. If the symptoms are not resolving you need to consult your eye doctor for examination to look for injury to cornea or other vital structures of the eye.

Thank you
