I thought my Flonase Fluticasone nasal spray was empty, but when I started pumping it before using it, I accidentally sprayed some into my left eye. I quickly rinsed it and even tried an eye bath with a shot glass. But now, I'm noticing the capillaries in the outer corner of my eye look a bit inflamed. Is this something I need to worry about, or is it okay to just wait and see if it gets better?

It sounds like you handled the situation quickly, which is great. While the slight inflammation in the corner of your eye might be a result of the spray, it should subside soon. Keep an eye on it, but if it gets worse or stays irritated, you may want to check in with a doctor for peace of mind.

I accidentally put OTOBIOTIC ear drops in my eyes and they started burning. I washed them out really well with water, and then I used ITONE. Could there be any issues with my eyes now?

My mom has been coughing quite a lot lately, and I'm a bit worried since she's supposed to have cataract surgery on the 18th of January. Is it safe for her to go ahead with the surgery with this cough, or should she delay it? Would love to get your advice on this.
