Question
Yesterday morning, my left eye became red and swollen, while my right eye is normal. Half of my left eye is red, and the corner of my eye is particularly painful. It also hurts when I blink. Why is this happening, and what position should I sit in to feel better?
Answer
According to the described situation, this may be related to the occurrence of conjunctivitis. The main symptoms include conjunctival congestion, redness, tearing, and in severe cases, there may be excessive secretion and significant pain. Topical chloramphenicol eye drops or levofloxacin hydrochloride eye drops can be used for regional eye drops. Pay attention to protect your eye health, avoid scratching and other unhealthy behaviors such as blinking, as these may worsen the inflammation. Treatment should focus on antiviral and antibacterial measures simultaneously.
