Hi. BRVO with macular edema needs intravitreal injection anti vegf or steroids.
It’s standard treatment. Also keep your Diabetes or blood pressure under control.

As i see your age is 29. High blood pressure at this age is a matter of concern.. i am sure your physician must have ruled out secondary hypertension and retina doctors must have advised some blood tests..
You need to just go ahead what your retina doctors have told you..
Currently ,No oral therapy will work of retinal swelling brvo has caused
Next Steps
dont waste precious time.. act quick for better visual outcome

Oral medication will help only for your blood pressure, for BRVO you need to take local medication in the form of injection.
Do not worry if done properly with all precautions, injections are safe and effective.
Next Steps
As high blood pressure at this age is not usual, you need to get investigated to find out why it is so high.

Everyone has given you the correct advice. Injection is the only treatment which may have to be repeated after one month.
Strict BP control has to be followed without fail.
