Red, itchy and irritated eyes
For the past 2 weeks, my left eye has been red, itchy and it feels like something is poking. The eye lid has been a little swollen. I consulted a doc and he prescribed me 2 eye drops and asked me to use it for a week and consult him again if he sees dirt accumulated at the side. What should I do. It's also hurting a little
