i have had this for about a week now
Answers:
1] no redness in eye itself...
2] any crusty or ***** discharge from either eye? - that would mean conjunctivitis, and to go to clinic for antibiotics
3] if 'just' swelling,
a] take a Benadryl for swelling
b] use saline or 'lubricating' eye drops [ NOT 'get the red out' ]
to ease irritation
c] apply ice packs [ wrapped in thin cloth or paper towel ]
for 20 minutes, four times a day.
4] if it isn't better by sunday, call a doctor for an appointment.
