How Can A Swollen Eye Post Steroid Shot Intake Be Treated?
I have had a very bad middle ear infection for three days and taking antibiotics since. Doctor in Costa Rica gave me several shots including a steroid shot and now my right eye is very puffy. The same side my ear infection is on. Why is this happening?
