A member asked:
Does fungus on the face cause swelling around the eyes? will antibiotics work. doctor thought i may also have a secondary infection.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swelling: Either fungus are a secondary infection can cause swelling around the eyes however an antifungal will not help your secondary infection and the secondary infection needs an antibiotic. However the antibiotic will not work on the fungal infection so therefore you need to combination of an antibiotic and an antifungal
