Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear you have to take Doxycycline and Azithromycin or Moxifloxacine and gatifloxacine is effective for Follicular conjunctivitis. Saline wash is useful, culture of conjunctival secretions. So please consult your ophthalmologist he will examine and treat you accordingly. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask.

Take care
