I have been using Ofloxacin eye drops for three days for red and itchy eyes, but I am not getting any relief. What alternative medicine or eye drop should I use?
Ofloxacin is an antibiotic, which only treats bacterial infections. Since your primary symptoms are red and itchy eyes with no relief after three days, your condition is likely caused by an allergy (allergic conjunctivitis) or dry eyes, rather than a bacterial infection. I recommend stopping the Ofloxacin drops and consulting an eye doctor for a proper diagnosis. For immediate, safe relief from itching and redness, you can try over-the-counter antihistamine eye drops (like Ketotifen) and preservative-free artificial tears. Additionally, applying a cool compress over closed eyelids can help soothe the irritation. Avoid rubbing your eyes.
