Dear XXXXXXX
thanks for sending your query to us.
The treatment is apparently fine.You can ,to increase the efficacy ,increase the frequency of these drops to about 2 hourly.
you can put in both the drops at 5 to 10 mts. Interval almost every 2hourly.
Another addition is that you can put in a anti biotic eye ointment at bed time as in these cases the eyes are stuck up in the morning due to discharge.
The oral medication is fine and should be continued for a few days more.
Please do get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.
