Eye Redness

2017-11-26 18:36:10
I currently have bacterial sinusitis and started taking azithromycin on Friday. On Saturday, I noticed my eye was red/bloodshot around noon. It is not itchy or irritating. But has not decreased in redness. I tried using Visine to reduce the redness, but it did not change anything. Could this be a side effect of the antibiotic or something else?
