Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have multiple conditions going on right now and fear that it could be a parasitic condition and need some expert advice. Started off with a terrible skin rash that has large and small lesions but no itch. Next a pretty substantial ear infection with swelling and discharge. Now the infection seems to be in my eye were small whitish-yellow things were coming out from under my eyelid from last evening. I have begun to inspect my mucus as it appears to have the same particles. I am very scared at this point and I appreciate anything you can offer.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. According to your statement you have been suffering from skin rash without itching, ear infection with swelling and discharge, eye infection with coming out of something whitish-yellow under eyelid, and mucus with the same particles. All these sufferings may happen due to parasitic infestation that is your assumption.

I have gone through your case several times and I think that all your sufferings may result from any infection due to any cause or allergies.Your skin rash may develop from any kind of allergies like food allergy, drug reaction or allergy, dust, or mite allergy. Then you developed an ear infection which may be due to bacterial cause. After that, you may suffer from conjunctivitis which is easy to catch through touching. You may get conjunctivitis by touching your infected hand that had touched your ear.

In conjunctivitis, whitish-yellow discharge may come out under eyelid. You can use an antibacterial drop on your affected ear and eye with antihistamine along with or without broad-spectrum antibiotics orally. But in the case of viral infection, these medications do not work. Wash your eye with water regularly and before touching any part of the body wash your hands with soap or sanitizer.

I hope this helps.

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