Ask
Hello doctor. Three days ago I went to the doctor and got conjunctivitis. After that, she was prescribed two eye drops, Sanlein and Torbin, for eye drops because of eye discharge. But after reading the article on the website I think I have allergic conjunctivitis, not bacteria. The doctor asked me if I should drop the medicine and continue taking it? I hope the doctor can help me. I would like to thank you.
