100LL Avgas in my eye, 12 hrs later it’s puffy
Not sure if im using this tag correctly but yesterday I got avgas in my eye when the wind blew it off of the dipstick. It was super painful so i told my instructor i couldn’t fly safely. I flushed out my eye with water and eye cleaner. It started to feel better so i went to bed thinking I was in the clear and I woke up this morning and it’s red and puffy. I cant fully open my eye without usiƞ my fingers and it’s a little bit sore. I’m not sure what to do.
Any advice?
Edit: I should clarify im F18 and my mother keeps advising against the ER due to wait times
Edit 2: My mother is taking me to the ER.
