My left eye become inflamed and droopy during a sinus infection a month ago. An ophthalmologist gave me oral antibiotics and an antibiotic/steroid ointment applied directly to the eye. The inflammation went away quickly, but the droopiness hasn't changed. He says he can't see a stye, so "probably" the levator muscle was damaged so the droopiness won't go away. Besides a followup in 3 months, he says there is no other way to treat me. 46 year old male, otherwise good health.
