Question 1

Hi, today I noticed a small white bump on my upper eyelid, and it seems to be under the skin. There's a bit of pain in that area too. I'm not sure what this could be. Should I be worried, and what should I do about it?

Accepted Answer

You may have a stye, which is a common eye infection that can cause a painful bump on the eyelid. You can try using antibiotic eye ointment like Tobramycin (Tobrex) twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the eyelid for 10-15 minutes several times a day can help reduce pain and swelling. If the stye does not improve or if your symptoms worsen, please consult an ophthalmologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 5

My right eye has been twitching for the past week, and Im wondering if I can just ignore it or if I need to see a doctor. What could be causing this twitching? Should I be concerned or is it something that will go away on its own?

Accepted Answer

Eye twitching, also known as myokymia, can be caused by various factors such as stress, fatigue, caffeine intake, or eye strain. In most cases, it is benign and resolves on its own. However, if the twitching persists for more than a week or is accompanied by other symptoms such as redness, pain, or vision changes, it is advisable to seek medical attention. To help alleviate the eye twitching, you can try using lubricating eye drops and reducing your caffeine intake. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Botox injections to help with severe or persistent eye twitching. If the eye twitching continues or worsens, please consult with an ophthalmologist for further evaluation and management.

Accepted Answer

Prolonged use of antibiotic eye drops like Toba (tobramycin) and Moxiflox (moxifloxacin) may increase the risk of antibiotic resistance, but the risk of increased eye pressure is relatively low; however, it's essential to follow your doctor's instructions and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your son's condition and adjust treatment as needed.
