I have an eye infection and I'm on antibiotics but?

Question

Is there a way I can take the swelling down? My eye is huge and it is half closed. I got an eye infection from my contacts and it is affecting my top eye lid making it swell, any ideas on what I can put on it to help?

Answer 1

hi I'm a nurse you can buy special eye washes from a pharmacy, which along with the antibiotics will help keep your clean, it is best that if you do use this do not use the same piece of cotton wool on both eyes, otherwise you will spread the infection into the other eye
