My eye may be infected again. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seek treatment: Seek treatment again from an eye MD. Then try not to reinfect yourself. Pay close attention to hand washing. Sterilize your door knobs, purse, wallet, pillow cases, towels, steering wheel, and all surfaces that you touch. Take your medicine as directed for the full time. Keep your follow up appointment. Avoid touching your eyes.
