Used Eye Drops For Conjunctivitis, Rashes In Eye Lids, Swelling, Itchy. Treatment?
I got some eye drops for conjunctivitis. Found out my eye lids upper and lower had a red rash, swelling, itchy reaction to them probably from the neomyicin in it. My eyeballs themselves are fun but the upper and lower lids are still struggeling to clear up. What can I do for them? Or how long does it take usually? Thanks

Hello,
Congestion of the eyelids indicate the presence of infection. You need to continue for 4 to 5 days at least. In the process you should notice improvement from the previous day to the next day. If it worsens then it may be a resistant bacterial infection and you need to consult your doctor.
