Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.

I reviewed your history.

It seems from the history that you are having symptoms of pain and redness with puffiness of the lower eyelid.
These symptoms indicate inflammatory swelling of the glands of the eyelids like hordeolum.
This requires treatment by the use of antibiotic eye drops and oral anti-inflammatory drugs.

If possible do send me a photo of the affected eye so that I can confirm the diagnosis and advice you more accurately.


Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
