Treatment Inquiry for Red Eye Symptoms: My eyes have been red and swollen for two to three days. How should I treat it? Do I need to go to the hospital? How long does the treatment take? Please assist, thank you!
Answer
Hello! Based on the description, the red and swollen eyes of the 18-year-old patient may be due to conjunctivitis, which usually involves symptoms such as conjunctival congestion, redness, tears, and in severe cases, purulent discharge accompanied by pain. It is recommended to use chloramphenicol eye drops or levofloxacin eye drops for local eye treatment, and pay attention to eye hygiene, avoiding unhygienic actions such as rubbing the eyes to prevent exacerbation of the inflammation.
