will foreign bodies cause redness in eyes
hi first this to rule out is a foreign body in the eye for that ask someone to examine your eye with a torchlight and also check the upper lid by exerting it because that is the common site for foreign body sometimes a very small foreign body cannot be seen with the naked eye and need an eye exam by a doctor wash your eye with clean water if there is no foreign body seen then it is most probably conjunctivitis that presents with the same symptoms usually viral conjunctivitis it usually takes 10 days to complete recovery but during this period protect your other eye and other family members because it spreads from one person to another through contact for symptomatic relief keep washing your eyes with cold water and do icepacks that helps to relieve discomfort start antibiotic moxifloxacin 5 eye drops four times a day to avoid secondary infection if pain and discomfort are severe consult your nearby eye doctor for a complete eye exam
