Brief Answer:
Continue ointment. Keep cleaning. Revisit ophthalmologist

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I understand that your son has accidentally rubbed his eyes with vicks in his fingers.
It is better to get him reevaluated by an ophthalmologist to rule out corneal damage.

Until then you can continue same medicines.

Keep cleaning eyes with like warm water frequently.
This will help in faster recovery.

Wishing your child good health and speedy recovery.
Regards
Dr Arun
