Red eye with rheum discharge

2018-05-23 11:32:21
I rubbed my eye while asleep last night and by morning I had a red eye with rheum discharge. I have taken Ciprofloxacin drops but still have minor irritation. Request you to suggest if I should continue the drops. Attached image was taken immediately after waking up.
