A member asked:
My wife is suffering with blepharitis since last two days. how long should she clean it regularly for before she seeks advice for antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Often: Would use warm compresses and wash as often as is convenient and should go away by itself in a few days. If it is particularly red or painful or there is drainage you should seek a medical opinion.
