My 17 year old daughter had her wisdom teeth out and was given a perscription for Tylenol 3. 40 mins after taking the medicine her stomach had major pain which quickly went through her body, was sweating profusely, was having difficulty swallowing and thought she was going to die. She went to the hospital and was given a shot of naxopren and was sent home. Ten mins. home and her eyes were blurry but one had a light that would not go away. She went back to the hospital where they gave her benadryl and morphine but kept her for 2 hours. She saw an optometrist who said her eyes look healthy but 3 days later she still has a yellow spot just below her central vision. What would have caused this?? She is very worried and what should we do and how long should we wait to have this checked again?

I would suggest that she see an ophthalmologist for a complete exam. I would be most interested in seeing the retina but overall a very complete exam is in order.  From what you have described, nothing in particular comes to mind, but it would not take long to see if a serious problem existed.  What I'm trying to say is yes, she does seem to be having a problem worthy of having an ophthalmologist look at right away.
