Why Is My Right Eye Was Tearing Up Constantly With A Swelling Like Sensation For Over Two Days?
Question: For the past two days my right eye was tearing quite a bit out of the outer right corner & feels swollen, feel a bit of pressure and pain when I turn to look out of the right side of the eye. Also feel a bit of pressure on the right temple side of my head. My last eye check up turned out I had a spot which appeared to have a broken capillary behind my eye (not sure if I'm describing that right). I do have a follow up appointment in July to see if it has dissipated and check for vision damage. Not sure what is happening now. Please advise. Thank you
Brief Answer:
Probably conjunctivitis,follow the advice below
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a conjunctivitis which is an infection.
The spot that you mentioned in your query is a subconjunctival hemorrhage that usually does not need any treatment.
Depending on the cause of conjunctivitis some advice that I can give to you are :
-use eye drops that contain antihistamines
-use cool compresses
-if the cause is a bacterial infection prescribed antibiotic eye drops may be used.You should consult your doctor about this treatment.
Don't worry,it is a common symptom that improves in a few days after treatment.
Hope my answer was helpful.
