Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was diagnosed with bacterial pink eye Monday (symptoms started Sunday). The swelling seems to have gotten worse, with more tearing. My cheek, under my eye and next to my ear are all swollen. Is this something I should worry about, or just part of the healing process? (I'm taking Yigamox every three hours).
If the swelling and other symptoms are worsening then it would be best to re visit your doctor for another assessment.
You may need additional or alternative treatment. It is possible that the bacteria causing the infection is not responding or resistant to the antibiotic you are using.
I hope this helps
