Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have an eye problem, eye itching, an irritated eye, and white thread discharge, and have been facing these problems for the past year.
Please help.
Thank you.
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 to the 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 an ENT specialist is recommended to rule out allergies of the nose and sinuses.
I hope this helps.
Please revert in case of further queries.
Thank you.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
