Sophia, I had an allergic reaction to Ciprofloxacin; it's not uncommon. There are a lot of other antibiotics you can try, though. Obviously, nothing that ends in -cillin. But there are plenty others.

Because books.
Clindamycin
I had to take this for a tooth infection, and it really did a number on my stomach. It didn't make me itchy, though. And I'm allergic to penicillin/amoxycillin, too.

The red, swollen spot might still be around just because it was a big trauma. Obviously, let your dr check it out, but I wouldn't get panicky about it

Thanks Steph. This whole thing just sucks ass, and I really only have myself to blame for not going to the ER. Grrrr. And then my boss (an Orthopedic NP) was telling how I want to make sure I don't have an infection in my ankle joint because then they have to open it up and irrigate it and all sorts of gross things.

AmyLiz- It is also doing a number on my stomach. Which is fun.
and I think I am only scared of the swelling because of what my boss (see above) said!

Either one could be doing that, actually. Cipro really upset my stomach, in addition to its allergic-reaction-inducing qualities.

Cipro? Well, at least you won't catch the anthrax.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Going back a bit:
tommyrot, I think you should post a picture of your HIDEOUS EYE for us. If you're going to go through partially disfiguring medical procedures, it's only right and appropriate that you share with us. We're your friends, after all.
I don't want to ruin anyone's appetite.
Also, I did not know that it was possible for an eyeball to be swollen. I suppose if I had thought about it, I might have figured it was possible, but....
Anyway, the pain is much less. The swelling does give the annoying feeling that there's something between the eyeball and the lid... but that's getting better too.
