A member asked:
I had an allergic reaction to a cat a couple hours ago. my eyes were red and itchy and now one eye is smaller than the other, is it permanent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It will likely improve in less than 12 hrs but may take a couple of days to totally recover-assuming you are no longer in contact with articles contaminated by cat allergens or the cat itself. Take antihistamine and try some OTC anti-allergy eye drops.
