What Causes Sore Itchy Eye Post Treatment For Tonsillitis?
About a week ago I came down with a severe case of tonsillitis when I went to see the doctor she said I needed antibiotics right away or would be taken to hospital to go on an IV drip I have been on the antibiotics twice a day and nearly finished them. Over the last couple of days my eye has been sore and itchy but today is very red and sore and looks like blistering on the actual eye ball. A few people have said conjunctivitis. Are the two related?
