Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are diagnosed with pink eye and on treatment with antibiotic eye drops.
Usually it takes 5-7 days to resolve completely.
If it is not responding then you need to change the antibiotic eye drops according to the culture and sensitivity report.
As of now you can continue same eye drops as advised by your doctor.
Thank you
