hello, My son is two years old, his ledt eye starting get since Christmas, we went to Urgent care and his regular doctor several times and they have said infection and gave him antibiotic drops and it came back again and the doctors said it s eye infection. It s not getting better, still red, very little discharge on the eye, and the during the past month, he had a red sty on his eye twice. The eye specialist couldn t examine him since he was crying so much, but said most likely it s allergies and the sty will go away on it it s own, which did. But the redness is not going away and the eye looks smaller than the other one. Can you please advise what may be causing this? Thank you
Hi...when style occurs the surrounding tissues would have swollen up. This is the reason for the eye to be looking smaller than normal. This may take 4 - 6 weeks to completely settle down. Do not worry. But style can recur again and if this happens I suggest you get back to your ophthalmologist. Once the redness and swollen tissues will get back to normal the eye will be appearing normal again. Regards - Chat Doctor.
