Careful Eye examination is MUST before deciding the dx & rx. Severe & serious pathologies may be present in the eye . Non ophthalmic practioner should atleast see the status of cornea & if anything serious is suspected , pt should be Immediately referred to an ophthalmologist after instilling antibiotic eye drops.
I go with Dr Harshad Sir. Eye brooks no guess work but meticulous exm. Who knows what is behind the closed eyes? The diagnosis entertained might be most probable but that not absolve complete exm.
Examination of eye under topical anaesthesia is must in such cases, although watering and matting of cilia is clearly seen.....Till pt is available to Ophthalmologist start with frequent moxifloxacin drops and tobramycin oint
I agree with with Dr Raghavendra Rao At first start treatment and examine the eyes more thoroughy during course of treatment
