eye flu drops - #12819

Aasha

I am really confused and worried about these "eye flu drops." I mean, I thought eye flu was just some temporary irritation, right? But then a week ago, I woke up with my eyes all swollen and red, couldn’t even open them properly. I went to the doc and he prescribed these eye flu drops. At first, I was kinda skeptical like, are eye flu drops even a thing? The doctor said they could help with the viral infection going around. I’ve been using them for about 4 days now, and at first, my eyes seemed to be getting better, but now, they’re super itchy and I feel like I’m seeing things blurry! Is that normal? Can eye flu drops actually cause side effects like this, or am I just being paranoid? Plus, I read something about how some people are allergic to eye flu drops? How do you even know?! I really need to understand if these drops are working because I can't handle the thought of walking around looking like I got punched in the face for longer. Has anyone else dealt with this? Do eye flu drops actually work, or should I be looking into something else for relief? Thanks in advance for any input!
