Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have an eye problem, eye itching, irritating eye, white thread discharge, and facing these problems for the past one year.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As per your symptoms, I could understand that you are suffering from allergic conjunctivitis. It is a common problem in people with allergies of nose and lungs. I would prescribe Olopatadine eye drops, one drop four times a day. Artificial eye drops one drop four times a day for two weeks to my patients. If the symptoms do not resolve, I would prescribe Loteprednol eye drops under close monitoring of intraocular pressure. I advise frequent follow-ups if Loteprednol is prescribed because it has some side effects. Also, consultation with ENT specialist is recommended to rule out allergies of nose and sinuses.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
