Suggest Cure For Pain And Swelling In Eye
Hi! I have a huge zit or boil on my left temple, near my eye. It is causing my eye to swell and hurts. It is red, about a quarter in size and probably swollen about an 1/2 inch. The dermatologist is not in office on Monday, but was wondering if there is anything I can do in the mean time?

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.
I reviewed your history. Boil is because of bacterial infection of the glands of the skin. The treatment is by use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Along with the medical treatment use of hot compression provides symptomatic relief.
Do consult your doctor for prescription of drugs.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
