What illness is it if you have ulcers in the eyes bags area?!


Question: What illness is it if you have ulcers in the eyes bags area!?
My 5 years old kid have red ulcers in her eyes bag area!. They are not itchy though!. The doctor gave her anti-biotic for one week consumption and he mentioned something that this is caused by virus!. But he seems not able to explain more!.
I plan to visit another doctor in 3 days time after the my kid finish taking her one week dosage medication!.
Are there any parents or medical doctor have encounter similar thing before!? I wonder if someone can share information about it whether this is dangerous!.
ThanksWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Are you talking about under her eyes on the skin or in the conjunctiva (red part) of her eyes!?

Although it is very hard to say, I think it probably periorbital cellulitis, which is caused by a bacterial infection!. It could also be a blocked tear duct!. The doctor would not have given you antibiotics to treat a virus--they do not work on viruses!.

Does it look like this picture, except just on the bottom of her eye!? http://health-pictures!.com/periorbital-c!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
