Suggest Treatment For Swollen Oozing Eye Lids

Recently had xfix on leg before surgery for broken tibula, The pin areas of xfix hard to heal. was constant oozing from site. Now I believe the fluid was transferred to my eye area, which is now about swollen shut, and oozing from eye lid, not in the actual eye. How can I stop the oozing and get the swelling reduced? Thanks

Thanks for posting you query to health care magic.
ozzing is due to inflammation of tissue it could be infective or non infective so you need to undergo culture and sensitivity examination of your fluid .
collect this fluid in a sterile container and send it to microbiology lab .
this test will help you to find out cause of infection and effective antibiotic to cure it .
for your eye complain you should contact to ophthalmologist for proper examination of eye.further you should take care of yo ur surgical wound with proper dressing and cleaning with antibacterial lotion .
Hope you would be satisfied with my answer . Feel free to communicate if any query .
