Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having conjunctivitis. Presdol eye drops is a steroid eye drops and it should not be used in infective conjunctivitis. It can be used only in severe allergic conjunctivitis.
The treatment of infective conjunctivitis is by use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and prescription of drugs accordingly.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Thank you
