Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having yellow discharge with swelling of the eye

These symptoms indicate infection of the eye in the form of conjunctivitis. Even eyelids are involved resulting in blepharoconjunctivitis.
The treatment of this condition is by use of antibioticsin the form of eye drops and eye ointments and antiinflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
