Conjunctivitis

2018-07-08 16:59:05
I have been suffering with bacterial conjunctivitis for 6 days now and have been taking chlorenfenicol gel 1% for 3 days. Today the pain and stinging in my eye is so severe that it will not stop streaming. I have tried bathing and cold compresses to reduce the inflammation but my eye is discharging so much that my vision is blurry. PLEASE HELP

Hello There is a lot of inflammation so I would recommend you to add steroid eyedrop like Pred forte 4 times daily along with antibiotic eyedrop that you are using Also use lubricating eyedrop like lubrex frequently Consult local ophthalmologist if problem persist

Yes it's conjunctivitis with carunculitis. Please put antibiotics eye drops 2hrly e.g. moxifloxacin (moxicip)and ocupol oint at bed time Also take oral antibiotic and anti inflammatory tab e.g. tab ciplox 500and tab diclogesic twice daily Do cold compresses Avoid exposure to bright light And maintain your hygiene,so as to prevent the infection to spread to others.
