What Does A Blister On The Eyelid Indicate?
I think I have an eye infection. I don’t know if it is pink eye or a herpes simplex virus. I don’t know if I should see a doctor or wait. I’ve had it for 48 hours. It is only in one eye. It feels like it is under the upper eyelid. My eye initially felt like something was in it, i could see a small blister on the edge of the eyelid. Currently, my eye hurts, is itching, it runs constantly with clear liquid. The white of my eye is not red. The back of my jaw to my ear also hurts on that side and I have a headache. Thank you,

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This sounds like a viral prodrome and I would advise you to consult an ophthalmologist as soon as possible. It could be an early herpetic infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
