Use chloramphenicol ear /eye drops to prevent sore eyes is will bad for my eyes? my family members get infected. i hv a exam on sunday. how to avoid

No eye issues: Chloramphenicol is a broad spectrum, useful antibiotic. Because the systemic use can cause blood disorders it is little used in the USA. But if the infection for which you were prescribed this is responding, then continue it until your evaluation on Sunday.
