I have acute blepharitis in my left eye, likely due to windy conditions, dust, and rubbing. I started erythromycin ophthalmic ointment 0.5% on 4/9 and, due to worsening symptoms, amoxicillin 500mg orally three times a day today. I'm also using warm, moist compresses and dilute baby shampoo. Is there someone who can assess my condition online, and should I continue the current treatment regimen?

The Claritin was initially taken due to a severe reaction to the contrast from an MRI.
