A member asked:
What to do if i was conjunctivitis yesterday and want to cure it by tomorrow! i'm taking eye drops every 2 hours! how can i cure it by tomorrow!?

May not happen: You may not be able to cure conjunctivitis within 24 hrs unless it's just due to minor allergies. Be very careful not to overuse the eye drops as that may produce damaging side effects to eyes. Every 2 hours sounds too frequent and unsafe.
