eye flu swelling treatment - #19197

Ranveer

I am kinda freaking out about this eye thing I've got going on. My left eye started itching a few days ago and then I noticed this really annoying swelling. At first, I thought it was maybe just allergies acting up, you know? But now there's more redness and some discharge too. Really not cute! I went to this urgent care place, and they mentioned something about eye flu and prescribed me some antibiotic drops. The doc said it could help with the eye flu swelling, but it feels like it's getting worse instead of better. I read online about eye flu swelling treatment options, but I’m confuse about what really works?! Should I maybe try cold compresses too? I really don't want this to turn into something worse, but I can't tell if the drops are helping or just making everything worse. Anyone have experience with eye flu swelling treatment that worked for them? Am I missing something else I should be doing? Like, is there a specific way I should be applying the drops or other remedies you've heard about for eye flu? Just feeling a little lost here, and all this doesn’t seem to be going away fast enough! Appreciate it!
