What Is The Treatment For Viral Conjunctivitis And Vision Problem?
I apparently have a viral conjunctivitis. (I have a cold, saw a doctor yesterday, not the flu, not strep.) Eye issues started a few hours after the appt. I am miserable and need to have all clear by Saturday. I have on head some polysporin opthalmic ointment and some omnipred. Would either of these be indicated?

Hi,
This can be viral as well as bacterial conjunctivitis.
Put antibiotic eye drop severy 1-2 hourly.
Go for one oral antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
At night you can use polysporin ointment.
Clean the eyes with warm water.
Ok and take care.
