Brief Answer:
I kul eye drop to continue
Detailed Answer:
MY dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
I could not see a attached photo. Still Tobramycin in such situations is not supposed to help.I Kul will be helpful but is to be used 3 to 4 times a day for 4 to 5 days and the redness will go away. The drops can be used for longer periods if necessary.
My further query in this regard please do get back to me.

Brief Answer:
Allergy
Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for sending me the details.
At least now I could get the photograph as well. I don't want you to use Gatiquin p as this has steroid.Fml also is steroid,but is a milder steroid.So instead of Gatiquin p I will be happier if you use Fml drop that too only one drop twice a day and not for more than a week
Continue with cetrazine syrup 5ml,meaning one tea spoon once a day in the evening.As this is also anti allergy we can reduce dose of Fml
These are local eye drops and will not elreact with oral medication.
Keep steroid use to minimum.
Any further query please do get back to me.
