Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Go to hospital: Emergency room if you can't manage to see an ophthalmologist now, your mother needs to be seen asap, ER doctors will manage , may ask for an ophthalmologist on-call to see your mother, or set an appointment soon, wish yourself and your mother wellness
