A member asked:
Left swollen eye 4 days now, swelling spreading closer to cheek area. feels like a bruise ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Preseptal cellulitis: is an infectious condition affecting the tissue around the eye. If not properly treated it can spread around to the eye and other surrounding tissue, causing limitations in eye movement and pain. Treatment starts with oral antibiotics, but may require iv antibiotics. You should be seen right away so proper diagnosis and treatment can be started. Good luck!
