Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This may be due to conjunctivitis (eye infection). Use Moxifloxacin eye drops four times a day. Use Loteprednol eye drops four times a day. Warm compress three times a day. I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns. Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your answer.

For how many days will I use the eye drops? Thank you.
