Only cetrezine may not be enough. Consult a general physician, you may need inj avil or hydrocortisone if allergy is more.
If any breathing difficulty remember it as emergency.

Hello There.
I can understand your concern,
you need to stop the medicine.
taking cetrizine is fine.
ornicef contains cefixime and ornidazole, so it could be due to cefixime also.
however,
i would suggest you consult your doctor again for a change of medicines.
Drink lots of water.
the redness of eyes will reduce gradually.
Best regards,
Dr. Anil kumar jain.
