I have had an infection around one eye for the past 2 days, possibly due to an insect bite. My doctor prescribed a combination cream (nadifloxacin, terbinafine, and mometasone), but the infection seems to be worsening. What should I do?
If the swelling or infection around your eye is getting worse despite using the prescribed cream, it is important not to continue applying it without review, especially since the eye area is very sensitive. You should stop self-medication and consult your doctor again, because the condition may need a different treatment. In the meantime, keep the area clean, avoid rubbing or touching it, and do not apply any new creams or home remedies.
