Antibiotics
Bacterial conjunctivitis is serious and the choice of antibiotic will depend on the identity of the offending bacteria.
Please be evaluated by your doctor. Your ophthalmologist may prescribe a broad spectrum antibiotic eye drop....there are many. Be aware that viral conjunctivitis (which may be a presenting sign of Covid-19) does not respond to antibacterial medication.
For bacterial conjunctivitis, you require antibiotic drops to treat. You need a prescription for these drops from either ophthalmologist, optometrist, or primary care. The antibiotics can be quinolone or aminoglycosides. Your doctor will decide which is best for you.
If it's truly a bacterial conjunctivitis, then it is best to be evaluated by an eye care professional and have the appropriate treatment initiated.
