Hello lybrate-user. Conjunctivitis may occur due to various causes. Let me enumerate them in brief:
(1) allergy
(2) bacterial infection
(3) viral infection
(4) fungal infection
(5) systemic conditions
based on the cause for your conjunctivitis, it would be a better idea to prescribe you treatment. Still, as a broad spectrum, use the following:
(a) tobramycin eye drops 4 times in a day.
(b) lubricant eye drops every 2 hours.
(c) keep washing your eyes thoroughl...more

Dear Lybrate reader conjunctivitis is an uncommon symptom of corona. But isolation is advisable in view of the prevailing corona infection.
You can use tobramycin eye drops--one drop every 4 hours for 3 to 5 days.
If the conjunctivitis subsides then corona infection is unlikely-
history of travel /contact with corona patients if present -you contact health care provider and get tested for corona.

पिछले 10 दिनों से चक्कर आ रहा है। हर समय लगता है दिमाग घूम रहा है। कभी कभी बहूत ज्यादा हो जाता है। पास के डॉक्टर को दिखाया उन्होंने इसे दिमाग का कमजोर होना या डिप्रेशन बताकर ये दवा दी है। पहले 3 दिन फिर 5 और दिन फिर इसे दस दिन के लिए बाधा दिया। साथ में मल्टीविटामिन की टेबलेट भी। क्या यह किसी गंभीर बीमारी का लक्षण है? और इस समय किस प्रकार का उपचार ले?कृपया सहायता कर एक पुरानी समस्या रही है वो पेट रेगुलर साफ़ नही होता क्या उससे ये संभंधित हो सकता है?

Hi Desh..
If you are taking Dexona (dexamethasone) then if you believe me stop them immediately.. it is a steroid and have many side effects... it harms you more than it benefit..
And the best treatment is homoeoapthic... but consult with more details for proper treatment..
And also before consulting just consult a neurophysician to have the diagnosis of the vertigo....

The half life of dexamethasone is 36 to 72 hours, it usually takes around 5 half lives for a drug to be completely eliminated from your system. So, it would be around 15 days in this case.

In some cases, prednisone, taken by mouth, is used for a period of time after the iv therapy is completed.
