Should I continue the treatment or stop it??
Will there be any complications??

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.
