I have viral conjunctivitis and i am 34 weeks pregnant. my doctor prescribed fml (fluorometholone) drops, is it safe for me to use? thank you.

Safe but: Not needed for viral conjunctivitis. Steroid drops, like this, may prolong the infection. No treatment is needed. It will get better in a week or less.
