Hello Doctor,
When should I go to the hospital? My cheek has a pimple on it, and now my eye is swollen.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
The symptoms you’re describing—a pimple on your cheek and now a swollen eye—could indicate an infection that has spread or an allergic reaction. If the swelling is severe, affects your vision, or is accompanied by other symptoms such as fever or difficulty breathing, it’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention. You should visit the nearest Emergency Department right away for an urgent evaluation. Until then, avoid touching or scratching the affected area to prevent further irritation or potential spread of infection. Your health is the priority, so please don’t delay seeking medical care.
Thanks
