My left eye is completely red since 4 days. Doctor prescribed mocifloxacin drops twice a day. But they don't seem to be working as the infection hasn't changed much. Please suggest remedy or alternative medication

If it is a viral conjunctivitis, we only have supportive treatment. Redness will go away in 7-15 days depending on severity.
Next Steps
Please consult an ophthalmologist in clinic or online for proper management
