Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having pink eye.
It is because of infection of the conjunctiva and it is treated by antibiotic eye drops.
Watching TVwill not cause any harm and it will hot influence healing.
The precautions you have to take are avoiding touching other eye as infection can spread to other eye.
You need to instill eye drops as advised andneed to wash hands after touching the infected eye.
You need to use separate kerchiefs, bed sheets and avoid close contact to avoid spread of infection to others.
Usually pink eye will resolve by 5-7 days.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
