Suggest Better Treatment For Red Eyes

My 8 year old son has had red eyes for over 2 weeks now. His primary care doctor prescribed Pataday, saying it was allergy eyes because no discharge. My son says no burning or itching either. The Pataday seemed to help the very first time, and now does not help at all. His eyes are bright red. Any suggestions?

Hello dear,it seems your son has adenoviral conjuctiitis. You try to wash his eyes with tea water, then drop Cyprofloxacin 1 drop 6 times 2 days, then 1 drop 4 times for 3-5 days. Adenovirus conjuctivitis usually continue during 3 weeks.
Hope i answered for your query.
Wishing baby speedy recovery.
