Question 1

4yo son has a red line, not whole eye on left side x 2 days.  isn't complaining about it hurting. no pink eye exposure and no gooping.

Accepted Answer

See below: A subconjunctival hemorrhage  occurs when a tiny blood vessel breaks just underneath the clear surface of your eye (conjunctiva). It's usually a harmless condition that disappears within one or two weeks. It often occurs without any obvious harm to your eye, or it may be the result of a strong sneeze or cough that caused a blood vessel to break. You don't need any specific treatment.

Question 2

even gently rubbing upper left lip causes mild pain in head/behind eye on left side for a month. something serious?

Accepted Answer

Pain: you may have bruised the nerve to the lip and you are getting referred pain. It should gradually disappear but stop rubbing your lip

Question 3

i had tooth14 pulled 6 wks ago & now i have pressure pain, pain in nose & eye on left side. could having upper molar pulled cause sinus problems.

Accepted Answer

Maxillary Extraction: In certain instances the extraction of a posterior maxillary tooth can cause sinus problems. It is not that common. The roots may have been long and they may have extended into the sinus... only your surgeon knows for sure. Your sinus issues and pain may not be related to the extraction, but unfortunately it may take more time for the pain and pressure to resolve if they are related.

Question 4

ear canal swollen and same ear and eye on left side bumps all over and itchiness. could there be something in ear or just allergic reaction.?

Accepted Answer

Allergic reaction: The itchy bumps imply an allergic reaction and should respond to some over the counter cortisone cream, but swelling of the ear canal usually means an outer ear infection (such as "swimmer's ear") and usually ear drops would be prescribed. Occasionally white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide can be used for mild swimmer's ear.

Question 5

what could cause ear pain and pain behind eye on left side? i occasionally get pressure sensation in my cheek sinus but i am not congested and dont have an infection/fever. my neck is sore to move and ears pop when i swallow?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor, preferably and ENT doctor. Wish you good health!

Question 6

constant migraines always just above eyes in eyebrows (more left side) how can i stop them?

Accepted Answer

Multi-prong approach: Migraines and other headaches can be treated after taking a complete neurological history and examination in-person with a neurologist. Treatments include medications (e.g., topiramate, propranolol), supplements (e.g., magnesium, butterbur, coQ10), daily aerobic exercise, healthy diet (and caution with caffeine), mindfuless meditation, biofeedback, clinical hypnosis, nerve blocks even Botox.

Question 7

hi dr....my eyes has been itching for the past 5days, especially the left side?

Accepted Answer

Allergies: Typically itch means allergies.  Sounds like you have allergies, this is common this time of the year.  Try over the counter moisture artificial tears, one drop 3-4 times a day.  Also try over the counter allergy drops as instructed on the label.  If no help see an eye md, and they can evaluate and possibly prescribe some drops.

Question 8

white or black flashing light off left side of left eye?

Accepted Answer

Vitreous tug: The vitreous jelly in the bag of the eye can push against the retina and cause this. Please get a full dilated exam to make sure that the retina is ok.

Question 9

i can't see the left side of my left eye, what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

Get an exam ASAP: Here i assume that you mean that you have lost vision in the left field of vision of the left eye. This could be anything from a retinal detachment to a stroke, and an immediate exam is required to make a diagnosis and start treatment. If you mean you can't see the white of the eye when looking at it in the mirror, then this too would require an eye exam to diagnose, though not quite as urgent.

Question 10

what is causing a blurry white vision on the left side of my left eye?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: There are many reasons you could be having this symptom--some benign, and others severe. I would recommend you been seen by an ophthalmologist asap.
