What Causes White Foamy Discharge From Eyes While On Antibiotics?

I am spitting up white foamy phlegm. I went to cardiologist and they ran a bunch of tests - the tests all came back good. I have been on antibiotics for an ear infection - i have taken three rounds of the antibiotics. The white foamy stuff has came out of my eyes on two different occasions also. Any idea of what would cause the white foamy phlegm? thanks.

Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear have feelings any burning sensation?? Any foreign body feeling? Have observed redness in the eyes? Any edema of lids?? Have you blinking of eyes more?? Feeling differently while watching TV and under the sun?? Most possible causes may be your suffering from dry eyes causes eye irritation and early morning you observe white layer in eye lid and eye lashes, it may due to bacteria conjunctivitis but as such your not mentioned eye symptoms except discharge. But no much relation between your sputum and eye discharge. Use carboxymethylcellulose eye drops four times in a day for 5days. If symptoms not improved consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
