How long should a eye infection last or take too heal??

Question

My son has been on antibiotics for 5 days now his eyes seem a little bit better now but they are still not healed, should I take him back to the doctor??

Answer 1

Make sure that the medicine is being taken the way it was prescribed. Most eye infections will start to clear up noticeably in 3 days. If it is not gone in 7 days you really need to take him back to the doctor.
