Having Irritation With Redness Inside Lower Eye Lid. On Antibiotic For Sinus Infection

My husband has an irritation inside his lower right eye lid. Gritty feeling, red, and there is no lump but a pin point size white speck which cannot be moved with a Kleenex. His nose is running a lot. He has had a sinus infection this week and is on an antibiotic.

Hello
It seems from the history that your husband is having white lesion with redness and irritation of lower eyelid.
He is also having sinusitis for which he is on treatment with antibiotics.
This indicates infection or inflammation involving glands of eye lids like hordeolum
Treatment is by using antibiotic eye drops and oral antiinflammatory drugs.
Applying hot compression provides symptomatic relief.

Thank you
