My eyes are swollen from antibiotics?!
Question: My eyes are swollen from antibiotics?
I started taking some general antibiotics to get over a cough/cold i have had for the past month or so. And I have noticed my eyes are really sore, like abnormally sore not just the wake up in the morning sore like its hurts to look around sore. When I push my eyes instead of giving way to pressure they feel as hard as rocks. whats wrong with me?

You should never have started taking antibiotics for a cough/cold. They do nothing for cough and even less for the common cold, which is caused by a virus. Antibiotics are for bacterial infections ONLY and need the involvement of a physician so they are not taken unnecessarily, which can cause other issues.
As for the eyes-- perhaps you are dehydrated, or need to see an ophthalmologist,.

Sounds like a very bad reaction to the antibiotics and in the future load up on vitamin C and Echinecea next time not antibiotics, goodluck!
