What to do if your eyes hurt with fever

If you have fever and eye pain, you should first rule out fever and eye pain caused by conditions such as conjunctivitis. If conjunctivitis occurs, in addition to the symptoms of eye pain, photophobia, tearing, increased eye discharge and itching, it can be treated with chloramphenicol eye drops for better results. If there is an increase in C-reactive protein, it is often a viral infection and needs to be treated with antiviral medication, such as Purdiglum Anti-inflammatory Oral Solution. If there is an increase in white blood cells, it means that the fever is caused by bacterial infection and needs to be treated with antibiotics, such as cefixime pellets. Even if there is no conjunctivitis, a simple fever may cause eye pain, because fever can easily lead to eye congestion and increase intraocular pressure, which can easily cause eye pain.
