Hello. Since last sunday I feel pain in my left eye. On tuesday my right eye started aching too. Inside both eyes I have one pimple (seems like chalazion). I put a creme named tobradex inside my eyes and the next morning my skin under my left eye was swollen. For two days I stopped putting the creme. Yesterday I put it again only in my left eye and after an hour I was feeling pain between my left eyebrow and my nose. Could you help me please? Do you have an idea what it is? What do you suggest me to do?

First of all you must stop using the ointment tobradex which you have mentioned without ophthalmologist advice. It contain steroid which can harm your eye and can also lead to increase the problem. It may be an infective lesion. You should consult your nearest ophthalmologist for proper evaluation & management. And if you can not go out due to covid- 19 then you can also consult ophthalmologist by online consultation. Hope you find it useful.

Pain with swelling may be due to stye. Apply hot fomentation, put moxifloxacin eye drops 2 hourly for two to three days. Once pain subsides you can reduce the dosage. Check your blood sugar ,if it is high consult a physician for control of blood sugar. Once your eyes have become ok consult an eye surgeon to rule out any refractive error.

This is a stye probably. Kindly do some lifestyle changes like drinking lots of water, avoiding spicy and oily food so that this problem does not recurr. You can use a cheaper ciplox eye drops 4 times a day and a cheaper oflox ointment 2 times a days inside your eyes and hot formentation 3 to 4 times for 10 minutes each. Contibue this therapy for 1 week and observe and later taper off the medications. In case of severe pain you can take a basic painkiller tablet.

It does not seem to be a chalazion. Would be great if you can post a picturee of your eye. It may require starting some antibiotics for you also. But need to be sure what we are looking at.
