Hi,

It seems you have bacterial conjunctivitis. Ideally antibiotics can be given according to culture and sensitivity reports however it takes several days and waiting to such an extent is not advised.

So after taking culture swab from discharges start Gatifloxacin eye drops every 4-6 hourly. Axithromycin 24 hourly for 5 days. Keep your clothes, hanker chief and towel separate from other family members to prevent transmission.

Wait for culture reports to check if any resistant strains are there or not.As these are prescription drugs you have to consult opthalmologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
