Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My right eye is swollen and painful when opening and closing because I touched it with dirty hands. I am using eye drops, but the pain and swelling have not subsided.

Could you suggest some medications for this issue?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

The swelling and pain in your eye could be due to an infection, an allergy, or an injury. I suggest you apply a warm compress to your right eye at least four times daily and take a combination tablet that contains Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Serratiopeptidase, provided you are not allergic to it. Additionally, please use only Moxifloxacin eye drops four times a day and avoid using any other eye drops. Consult a specialist doctor, talk with him or her and take medicines with their consent.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
