Few years back, when my mom was washing toilet with acid.. she felt some irritation.. suddenly her one of the eye got reddish.. she went for treatment, and after some days, the eye came back to normal.
But now, the same got reddish again, after multiple check up with the eye doctor, she prescribed "Prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension USP" and she used for a week.. now her eyes are 70% ok. but meanwhile she was asked to take a blood test in which ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE results came in 31mm.
After that doctor suggested the below tablets,
Prednisolone 40mg per day for one week..and asked to reduce each week..
shellcal 500mg twice daily
Rantac 150mg twice daily
when i researched internet, it said the Prednisolone is a steriod and causes severe side effects
Could you please explain whether my mom's ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE - 31mm is normal or should follow the above tablets or to check other doctor.. Her age is 51. Please advice.. than you...
