Use ciprofloxacin for more than 5 days?

2017-11-21 23:47:46
I was given Ciprofloxacin on Saturday because of what the Nurse practitioner thought was cornea ulceration. My eye is still red and use a warm compress seems to help with the sensitivity to light. Can I use the eye drops for more than 5 days? My is still red but it doesn't hurt as much and the 5 days end tomorrow.
