According to an ophthalmologist I went to today, I have a nasty skin infection on my eyelid. It's not a stye but has gone beyond that. I had originally gone to the Urgent Care yesterday and they prescribed me Keflex (Cephalexin). The ophthalmologist today said that Keflex is not strong enough and won't do anything and I need take either Doxycycline or Ciprofloxacin. I chose Doxycycline as I have read Ciprofloxacin messes with GABA receptors. She also prescribed me some ointment to put in my eye: Neomycin/Polymixin B/Dexamethasone 0.1%
I'm terrified to take Doxycycline after searching around on the forum. I've tried calling other ophthalmologists to get a second opinion, but they apparently think it's okay to wait 1-2 months with an infection. I just want to know if Keflex can take care of the infection? When I search online it says that's exactly what it's prescribed for.
I have no idea what to do. I cannot handle my tinnitus getting any worse.
