Put ear drops instead of eye drops

2017-09-14 16:50:57
While applying makeup my eye turned red and I decided to put neomycin and polymyxin B sulfates and dexamethasone ophthalmic suspension but which I got prescribed by eye doctor last year from pink eye but instead by mistake I put a drop of neomycin and polymyxin B sulfates and hydrocortisone Otic solution, USP after what my eye burned very bad. Then I washed it and put eye drop in it. It's not that red anymore, just have this warm feeling in it and feel little inflammation.

You  may add lubricating eye drops like genteal eye drops 4-5 times.

Kindly don't self medicate. Wash your eyes thoroughly with water. If there's any further irritation, discharge from the eye, or blurring of vision, kindly visit the opthalmologist at the earliest.
