Hello ! Your eye drops are very safe to use for your daughter. Must wash your hands before using drops. Must wash her eyes before using drops Must use first on healthy eye and then on affected eye.  Must use 5--6 times a day. Keep seperate towel for her . Each time change the napkin.  So please follow all instructions. Continue drops for 5--6 days.  Any question, must approach me. MOSTLY I AM AVAILABLE.

Yes you can use it safely for 3-5 days. If the infection still persists then it is better to consult an ophthalmologist.
