Patient's question:
Yesterday morning, when I woke up, my left eye was red and swollen, while my right eye was normal. The left eye was red on half of it, and the corner of my eye was especially painful. It also hurt when I blinked. Why is this happening, and how can I sit to make it better?Doctor's answer:
According to the described situation, this may be related to the occurrence of conjunctivitis. The main symptoms include conjunctival congestion, redness, tearing, and in severe cases, significant discharge with obvious pain. Topical application of chloramphenicol eye drops or levofloxacin hydrochloride eye drops should be used for local administration. It is important to protect eye health, avoid scratching or other unhealthy behaviors such as blinking, to prevent exacerbating the inflammation. In treatment, both antiviral and antibacterial measures should be taken simultaneously.
