Brief Answer:
Acute Bacterial conjunctivitis?
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your query and concern.
As per your symptoms you seem to have mild to moderate bacterial conjunctivitis.
All you currently need is sterile water irrigation of the involved eye followed by instillation of antibiotic eye drops like zymer/gatifloxacin 2 drops 2nd hourly.
Please note above drugs have to be taken only under the guidance of an expert ophthalmologist.
Post your further queries,if any.
Thank you.
