Hello. It is good to know that your sister has recovered well from covid. Steroids are not to be stopped abruptly, it always has to be tapered by decreasing the doses first before stopping it completely. It is unlikely that just with 10 days of low dose steroid she will develop mucormycosis. But an ophthalmologist definitely needs to take a look at the eye first before saying that for sure. A good quality picture will be helpful in ruling out the same.

Hello.
The symptoms your kid is having may be due to excessive strain on eye muscles when he tries to focus (in this case watching tv or mobile). You should get his numbers checked once and make him/her wearing glasses if it is there. Not wearing glasses despite having high power can cause serious issues in the long run after few years, because it eventually makes the eyes weak. Also,

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
An injury to the eye, such as a scratched cornea, can cause the eye to swell and itch. It may feel as if there is something in the eye. If the injury becomes infected, there may be thick discharge. A blocked tear duct: this can cause sticky, thick eye mucus, and may be painful.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

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

Hello. Before prescribing any treatment for your daughter, it is of utmost importance that infection is ruled out first. Basically redness and irritation can be infective or inflammatory (allergic, dryness etc). With the limited information you have provided over here, it is difficult for an eye doctor to put up a probable diagnosis. A good quality picture of both eyes will be helpful in guiding treatment plan for her. You can reach me out anytime for consultation to discuss your case in a more ...more
