This one especially goes out to those retired nurses and nursing students in the audience. (you know who you are)
So, under my right eye was extremely tender today. I mentioned it to Amy and she pointed out that the bottom edge is red and puffy. We're thinking maybe a tear duct infection? I think that just means I need some antibiotic?
On a happier note, I realized just minutes ago that tomorrow is Thursday and not Wednesday like I thought. Isn't that happy?
I am not the medical professional you were looking for, but at times, of course, I think I am better. It sounds to me like a stye. Google it and see if it makes sense. It can be very tender and annoying, but should go away on its own.
ReplyDeleteI have been getting requests for your address. A good mom would have that already. I am a little off my game. Could you pass it along?
Post a picture of it, Steve. It might help to identify it.

I agree post a picture, but I wouldn't wait too long to seek medical attention.
ReplyDeleteOne other thing..keep your hands off of your eye. Make sure your hands are very clean before touching them.
ReplyDeleteHi Steve, I think your mom is right. It is most likely a stye which is a little inflamed oil gland. Pretty much all you need to do is not touch it and apply warm compresses. (I'm not a medical professional yet by any means, but I am in my second year of medical school so I'll be a doctor in another two and half years :P )
