A member asked:
How would i know if my eye is infected after an what i believe is a mosquito bite to the upper eyelid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection: Infections usually are tender/painful to touch, red, swollen with migration of redness. A swollen lymph node on that side or a fever are also signs. Feel free to send me a picture to tell. Cold ice packs decrease swelling if just an allergic reaction.
