Conjunctivitis
My doctor gave me terramycin ointment (4 times daily) and vigamox drops (3 times daily) to treat conjunctivitis in both eyes. However, when applying terramycin ointment for the first two days, my eyes became more uncomfortable (watery, more discharge) and red. Is this is good sigh for healing? or should I stop usage?
stopped the medication and waiting for an appointment, hopefully my symptoms will decrease. Thanks for the advice.
I guess"the doctor" ( there really was a doctor) did not diagnose my problem correctly. Will have to see the ophthalmologist for accurate diagnosis.
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
No stop the ointment and call "the doctor". Viagamox is one of the most powerful and broad spectrum eye antibiotics drops there is and if a bacterial conjunctivitis is likely enough. Remember that if a viral infection antibiotics don't help.
