Had Both Bacterial And Viral Pink Eye. Took Bacterial And Steroid Eye Drop. Medical Cure For This?

I had both bacterial and viral pink eye and was given double bacterial eye drops and then a steriod eye drop. Around the time I took the bacterial eye drops my nose started getting dry as will as my mouth and I started to have excessive white mucus going down my throat. My doctor said it was from allergies and wants me to take flonase. I have been drinking lots of water and using saline spray so far. I'm a little afraid of taking flonase from what I read. What do you think I have? Should I go ahead and try the flonase? I've had these symptons now for a month.

Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
hi dear.. first thing i want to tell you is please do not use steroid drops.. for symptoms of bacterial infection you can use ofloxacin or moxifloxacin eye drops initially hourly for a day or two later you can reduce to 6times a day.. excess use of drops can also cause nasal stuffiness.. if symptoms dont subside then consult your ophthalmologist for detailed evaluation..dont use any drops by yourself.. thank you. take care.
