Conjunctivitis
I declare myself to be down with conjunctivitis, more specific is bacterial conjunctivitis. I’ve this condition since February 9, it has been almost 5 days and i still have red eye. During this period, i’ve seen pharmacist and doctor. Below is the summary of treatment i received so far:
Feb 9-11: Apply gentamicin that were given by pharmacist 1 drop every hour.
Feb 12-13: Apply neomycin that were given by doctor 3 drops tid (3 times a day). Doctor asked me to see her back if there is no improvement
Feb 14-till now: Went back to see doctor and given chloramphenicol. Apply 2 drops tid (3 times a day).
Total damage to my wallet = RM 69
To all my friends that avoid eye contact with me, i just want to let you all know that conjunctivitis is not air-borne disease. If i touch my eye with my hand and my hand touches another person hand, then the other person will get conjunctivitis if he/she touches own eye.
By the way, a few of my coursemate also had conjunctivitis; wai kit, julian, li guo, chin yee, and qi yun.
Hopefully i can get well soon.
