A member asked:

My 4 year old got erythromycin ointment for bacterial infection in eye. looks all cleared up...how long do i need to apply it for? dr was vague...

A doctor has provided 1 answer

How long to treat: Most pinkeye clears up fairly quickly. The ointment can shorten the time and reduce transmission to others. I usually recommend treating for 2 days after the redness and drainage is gone.
