Brief Answer:
Antibiotic eye drops
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for sending your query to us.
It was good of you to send the photograph but I would be keen to know if you have stuck up eyes in the morning. If there is discharge in the eye, assessment tilts more in favor of bacterial infection.
Presently you may use anti inflammatory tablets, Ibugesic and Paracetamol combination like Ibugesic plus or Combiflam half tab twice a day and Gentycin (allargan) eye drops 4 to 5 times a day and zoxan eye ointment daily at bed time. Let this continue for a while.
Wash your eyes with plain water and use some protection while driving.
You may get back to me with relevant information and any further queries please do get back to me.
