There is a way to treat drug- induced hepatitis. We should stop all att, then introduce the first- line drugs in small doses, one by one, repeating sgot/sgpt ay regular intervals. There is no need to add a second-line drug like moxifloxacin.

Hi, my left eye was a little sore at the corner for 3-4 days. Then day before yesterday, my lower eyelid started swelling. At first it was only a little painful but with time the swelling and pain kept on increasing. Right now, I have extreme pain in my left lower eyelid and the pain radiates to almost the entire left side of the eye. The swelling has also increased and the eyelid is red. There is a very small white color spot on the inside of the eyelid (not visible on the outside) but this has become smaller since the swelling has started increasing. There is also a burning sensation in the corner of my eye. I am taking enzoflam painkiller but it takes around 2 hours to reduce the pain and the effect lasts only 2-3 hours and then the pain comes back. I am also using moxicip eye drops and refresh tears but I don't think it is helping much. It has been 2 days of severe pain. Please advise.

Hello. Your symptoms seem to be suggestive of infection. What exactly is the swelling can not be commented upon right now without having a look at it. It may be a stye or an infected cyst going into a stage of pre-septal cellulitis. You need to start oral antibiotic tablets right away along with continuation of the present medications you are on. Hot water fomentation is equally stressed upon and will work like wonders if done religiously. Also consulting an ophthalmologist right now is advisabl...more

After my wife underwent NA Glaucoma Surgery (&Cataracts'surgery) her IOP remains at 5/6 mm in RE, since last 12 years. She suffers from Inflammation, pain & drupy eye-lid, but same is combated instilling lotepred LS & Vigamox for few days. This phenomenon is once in a year. Surgeon did autologous blood injection before 6/7 years as safe guard & also performs Dye test to ensure no leak from bleb. In Jan. 2017 her OCT was normal. On 6th Jan. 2018,OCT indicates Superior thickness loss in RE, with Progression (RFNL thickness loss. LE condition is normal in OCT (-having IOP at 18/20mmHg on instilling Xalacom/Travacom- once at night. To keep further low Timolet OD is added once in the morning. Ophthalmologist is well experienced in Glaucoma Surgery. He says since IOP in RE is low, nothing can be done, to arrest progression. Kindly this may be please replied by Glaucoma Specialist, if any intervention is available to sustain present vision.

Good morning. For the right eye iop is 5/6 mm hg but if there is no leak and anterior chamber is deep then no intervention required. One can monitor for diurnal variation and blood pressure. Regarding progression one has to look for clinical fundus examination, oct and perimetry. Oct finding in isolation should not be interpreted as progression. For left eye ,travacom already has timolol so why again timolet od which has also timolol. You can witch to brimonidine.
