Warm compresses.... warm water and baby shampoo, make a foam with the shampoo and water, then wash your eyes with it, then rinse.(this is advise given by opthalmologists to me.)
Staphlococci infections can be serious and contagious. Just make sure you wash your hands a lot, incase you have touched your eyes unknowingly.
Warm compresses using camomile tea or just regular tea has also been recommended (in my case). Did the Dr give you antibiotic drops for your eyes?(just curious. Swelling will go down eventually.
To the people that will be spending Mother's day with out their mom's, I am sorry. It can not be easy for you.
Might I suggest, light a nice candle, get a pen and paper or on the computer write a letter to your Mom, or write what you would like to tell/say to her, or just write about her.
The first mother's day with out a child or children can make us feel very down. Mother's day is just one day, but it really should be celebrated every day.
Take care, and I hope your day turned out to be a good one.
