Question : am having pain in outer corner of right eye with slight mucus build up and slight inflamation
Brief Answer:
Considerations.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for sending the question.
It sounds like you may be dealing with a case of conjunctivitis or pinkeye. This can be caused by viruses or sometimes bacteria.
Conjunctivitis can cause irritation, redness and a discharge. since your symptoms have been persistent you might benefit from a topical antibiotic solution that can be provided by your local physician.
You could try some warm compresses for several minutes 3 to 4 times per day to see if this helps alleviate some of the information. If the discomfort and discharge persist, however, I would recommend that you contact your local physician for examination and possibly to obtain a prescription of a topical antibiotic to alleviate your symptoms.
Thank you again for sending the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Sincerely,
Dr. Galamaga
