For Conjunctivitis, Bacterial "I was diagnosed 3 days ago and started using the drops, but still haven't gotten any relief. Naturally, it's a weekend! On Monday, I'll contact my doctor. I have an intense headache with this, and just using my eyes for a few minutes makes everything worse. I have redness, itching, pain, crusting, graininess, and throbbing in both eyes. A warm washcloth is the best relief so far."

For Conjunctivitis, Bacterial "The eye drops twice a day for the first 2 days did somehow feel eye burning, redness, and itchiness. Thought that it would go away, but then I started to feel pain in my lower back, climbing up to my neck within my second day. I stopped the medication and my back pain started to subside. Calling my doctor if there is such a side effect."
