Antibiotics and its use

2020-11-03 14:36:25
I was advised to take a antibiotics eye drop for my bacterial conjunctivitis for 7 days and then consult. I will only be able to consult the doctor after 10 days. My eyes are getting better Should I continue the treatment or stop it?? Will there be any complications?? I have attached the pic of my prescription.

Hello , Continue using the drops for 3 more days and then you can stop. Unlike oral antibiotics, eyedrops are very safe to use. usually conjunctivitis takes around 2 weeks to fully resolve. Lubricant drops also can be continued for a month.
