Hello! The infection is very similar to bacterial conjunctivitis. Usually, in pharmacies, there are Polysporin antibiotic drops available for this type of infection. However, most pharmacies have been having problems getting supplies for the past few months. I invite you to continue using nasal douches, as they are very effective in controlling the evolution of the congestion and the nasal discharge. You can also use disinfectant wipes (e.g. Cil-Net) to clean your eyes. However, I recommend that you make an appointment with a doctor to receive prescribed antibiotic drops. Great evening!
