What Would Happen If Accidentally Using Otocomb For Eye Instead Of Chlorig?

My child has woken with conjunctivitis. I have accidentally put otocomb ointment in his eyes instead of chlorsig ointment. I have attempted to wash it out after realizing my error ( I understand that it is not for eye use). Do I need to take him to emergency?
