Hi, my left eye was a little sore at the corner for 3-4 days. Then day before yesterday, my lower eyelid started swelling. At first it was only a little painful but with time the swelling and pain kept on increasing. Right now, I have extreme pain in my left lower eyelid and the pain radiates to almost the entire left side of the eye. The swelling has also increased and the eyelid is red. There is a very small white color spot on the inside of the eyelid (not visible on the outside) but this has become smaller since the swelling has started increasing. There is also a burning sensation in the corner of my eye. I am taking enzoflam painkiller but it takes around 2 hours to reduce the pain and the effect lasts only 2-3 hours and then the pain comes back. I am also using moxicip eye drops and refresh tears but I don't think it is helping much. It has been 2 days of severe pain. Please advise.

Hello. Your symptoms seem to be suggestive of infection. What exactly is the swelling can not be commented upon right now without having a look at it. It may be a stye or an infected cyst going into a stage of pre-septal cellulitis. You need to start oral antibiotic tablets right away along with continuation of the present medications you are on. Hot water fomentation is equally stressed upon and will work like wonders if done religiously. Also consulting an ophthalmologist right now is advisable. You can provide me with a good quality picture of your eye and reach out anytime for consultation for full treatment plan. Hope this helps. Thank you.
