A member asked:

I have puffiness under my right eye and it hurts will some sort of pink eye medicine help get rid of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO eye drop needed: Swelling (edema) & pain under the eye is probably not 'pink eye' (conjuctivitis) but a possible skin infection (cellulitis). You should get seen by your provider and you may need an antibiotic. Hope you are better soon.
