Strep Throat, Pink Eye In Both Eyes, Redness. Using Antibiotic Eye Drops. Healing Time?
I was diagnosed with Strep throat and pink eye in both eyes yesterday. I went to a general practice, not an ophthalmologist . He gave me antibotics for the strep throat and antibotic drops for my eyes. My eyes feel better but are still considerable redness is occurring. I have had pink eye before but my eyes cleared fairly quick. How many days will the redness continue on antibotic drops?

Hello
You should give hot fomentation to your eyes and use some good quality broad-spectrum anti-biotic drops in your eye 4-6 times a day and some anti-biotic ointment at night. You can also use some anti-inflammatory drugs along with the anti-biotic for throat problem.
It will take about 48-72 hours for redness in eyes to improve.
