Question: On Monday, May 11, I was drinking a cup of coffee, and some of it splashed on my eyelid, and I am unsure if it got into my eye. On the following day I started experiencing discomfort in that eye in the form of feeling like something is in it and from time to time a stinging pain. Do you have any suggestions for treating these sysmptoms. I am trying to avoid going to the ophthalmologist if possible due to all the COVID 19 going around.
