Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.
I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that your patient is having mosicip eye ointment for watery eyes. Moxicip is antibiotic and it contains moxifloxacin. Moxicip does not cause redness and irritation.
The presence of these symptoms indicate allergy to the drug and you need to stop the drug and prescribe antibiotic of different group like tobramycin.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Thank you
