Can i use erythromycin and eye drops to get rid of pink eye faster?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends . . .: Yes if pink eye is due to bacteria sensitive to Erythromycin but no if pink eye is due to some other cause. That's why it's important to go see your family doc or optometrist for an evaluation and appropriate treatment.
