Swollen eyes
Son complained of painful right eye Friday afternoon, by Saturday morning the right eye was swollen and completely shut. Prior to this he had a few during that week and vomited. He also developed a skin rash. Now both eyes are swollen shut. He is in hospital now. They say it could be peri orbital cellulitis. The right eye seems to be septic, I fear it might spread to the other. Prescribed meds: Gutt maxitrol Qid, Gutt Predmisolone Qid. Will this help? Worried parent
