But advised that i need to take lots of fluids and rest .been taking ibuprofen , echinacea tablets and buttlercup syrup woke up this morning with rash like itchy swealing on the side of my right eye? can i apply fucidin cream or hydrocortason cream?
If the rash is itching it would be best to use the hydrocortisone cream. This is a topical steroid and would treat any inflammatory process.
You may want to consider having your doctor look at the rash
