Give it time: Tobradex takes about 2-3 days to provide optimal results. You need to give it time. However if the problem fails to improve after 2-3 days or gets worse in the interim, call your eye doctor or get a 2nd opinion.

Mgt: If there is no response, a biopsy can be discussed with the opthalmologist.
