Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query.

I have a few questions.

1. Since how long it has been like this?

2. Is there any discharge or stickiness?

3. Are you suffering from a sore throat, cold, or fever?

4. Is it one eye or both eyes?

Answer 2

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It seems to be conjunctivitis. So, I suggest you follow the instructions mentioned below.

1. Use lubricant eye drops frequently.

2. Do not rub your eyes.

3. Use protective glasses.

4. Use Moxifloxacin (antibiotic) eye drops four times daily for one week.

5. Use an eye ointment Ocupol (Chloramphenicol and Polymyxin B) before sleeping inside the eye for two weeks.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.

Hope this helps.

Thanks and regards.
