Brief Answer:
Moxiflox eye drops

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome here,

I have seen the attached photo.
You can use the Moxiflox eye drops twice a day in the eyes for 3-5 days to control the infection. Also wash the eyes frequently with clean water and avoid any irritant like soap or shampoo to get into the eyes. You may use googles while stepping out in the sun. Also wash hands before picking baby, use goggles while breastfeeding.

Regards,
Dr Vaishalee
