Will Keflex Antibiotic Help To Cure Stabbed Eye Which Is Red, Sore And Which Had Bled At The Time Of Incident?

Hello Dr. Grief,
Night before last while sleeping I must have been dreaming. I woke to the blunt stabbing of my eye with my own acrylic fingernail. I couldn't believe how fast I jammed my fingernail into my own eye. My eye felt damp got up to look and blood came out of my eye. The area of the eye "sclera" left lower eye in the corner is where I hit, thank God it wasn't my pupil. Anyway, the vision is not affected but my eye is really red in the corner and sore when i move my eye or touch the eyelid. I did have Keflex on hand from a previous Dr. so I begun taking that the following day "yesterday" I just do not want any problems. What are chances I damaged my eye, I hit hard, very hard. I couldn't imagine doing this intentionally, its terrible. Do you think the Antibiotics will keep from infection? I only have enough antibiotics for 3 days then 1 pill the following day. I am sure IF I went to the Dr. all that I would of recieved is antibiotics. Any information would be appreciated
Thank you Suzee
