Detailed Answer:
Hello

Welcome to Healthcare magic

I am Dr.Dadapeer K, Ophthalmologist answering your query

I reviewed your history, it seems from the history that you are having eye infection in the form of conjunctivitis associated with fever and upper respiratory infection in the form of cold and sore throat. This indicates probable viral infection with involvement of the eyes. This requires treatment by antibiotics eye drops. Symptomatic relief can be obtained by use of decongestant, antiallergic eye drops.
You need to continue antibiotic eye drops, do send me the names of other eye drops prescribed by your eye doctor so that I can advise you more accurately. Along with this the upper respiratory tract infection need to be treated with antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs. Hope the information is helpful to you.

Thank you

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for the follow up question.

The eye drops you are using in the form of aqualube - artificial tear, Thomoxx - moxifloxacin, antibiotic and Suthin - decongestant is in right direction.
Along with these you can add antiallergic eye drops like olopatadine eye drop.

Since you have taken levofloxacin for 5 days no more antibiotic is required. Along with this you need anti-inflammatory drugs like diclofenac for symptomatic relief.
Do consult your doctor for prescription of these drugs.

Hope the information is helpful to you.

Thank you
