Hello doctor,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query. I understand your concern. Have you been coughing or lifting weights? I suggest you to follow a few instructions. Use Nepafenac eye drop twice daily for the next seven days, then use it once at bedtime for the next seven days, then stop. Use Carboxymethyl cellulose plus Naphazoline eye drop daily for ten days. Use Moxifloxacin eye drops six times daily for the next five days, then for the next five days, and then once at bedtime for five days. Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them and take medications with their consent. I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
