bit by black fly, eye is swollen...how do I treat it?	Scars 5/1/2006	.
you can try some cortisone cream to decrease the inflammation but be careful not to get it in your eye. If you get any visual symptoms or pain moving the eye you should see your doctor immediately. You should also see him/her for some antibiotics if you see any increase in redness or suspect it might be infected.	B_Johnson 5/1/2006	.
