solution for eye flu - #17288

Swara

I am really worried about something I've been dealing with. I started having these really weird symptoms in my eyes, like redness, some swelling, and a discharge that’s just gross. I thought it was just allergies or something, but then a friend told me it might be eye flu—whatever that is. I didn't even know eye flu was a thing! I went to the doc, and they said it could be viral and suggested I use warm compresses, which helped a bit but not totally. I’m just not sure if there’s a better solution for eye flu than what I’m doing right now. Can anyone suggest a more effective solution for eye flu? I’ve heard keeping the area clean is vital, but are there specific eye drops or remedies that might actually work? Also, is it contagious? I don’t wanna pass this around to anyone. And like, how long can this hang around? It feels like forever! Any advice or experiences on finding a real solution for eye flu would be super helpful, thank you!
