eye ointment for eye flu - #18608
I am really freakin’ worried about my eyes right now. A few days ago, I started noticing they were super itchy, and then they got all red, like really red. I thought it was just some allergies or something. But then it turned into burning, and even a little gooey discharge started showing up, it was kinda gross honestly. I went online trying to find out what this could be and stumbled across something called "eye flu." That sounded about right. I went to the doc last night, and they mentioned something about an infection but didn’t really give specifics. They suggested an eye ointment for eye flu, but what I want to know is, is that really gonna help? I mean, I've heard of other treatments like drops and stuff, so why an ointment? And how do I know if the ointment for eye flu is working? Should I expect immediate relief, or is it a slow process? Ugh, I just want to get back to normal! Also, how long does this eye flu usually last? Any advice on what I should be doing while I wait for that ointment to kick in would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
