Suggest Medication For Sensitivity To Light And Swelling In Lower Eyelid
Hi, I have been diagnosed w corneal problems including loosening of the cornea skin from time to time. I had a flare up while on vacation and wound up in the ER in Canada getting antibiotic drops which helped after a few days. The pain is gone but the light sensitivity and eyelid and lower eye skin swelling is still ongoing. Ice does not help. Are there anything over the counter creams or drops you can recommend to help with the swelling at this point?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, I wont advise you to use any on counter drops for eye condition because the symptoms that is being stated here are little confusing it is better to see the ophthalmologist anti-biotic can be used but it is not the confirmed case of infection, it may be inflammatory condition but underlying cause of swelling is matters hope this information helps.
