Conjunctivitis!

one of my coursemates got conjunctivitis (bacterial infection in the conjuntival sac - in the eyelids) 2 weeks ago... i got the disease from her last week! only my left eye was affected... went to the student health clinic, got the eye drops, eye ointment, vit. C, antibiotics... didn't recover but got worse! Uncle brought me to USJ Taipan Clinic on Sunday, got another kind of eye drops... went to UM Medical Centre to get my eye chekced by the specialist... the ophthalmologist said that the infection had spread to my right eye! the condition of my left eye was quite serious, with pseudomembrane formed in the superior region of my conjunctival sac... she removed the pseudomembrane, it bled! ...it's normal :)
my condition got worse as my eye was allergic to the eye drops (Chloramphenicol)! i didn't know about that!
went to the hospital for a follow-up thsi morning... the doctor said my condition was improving :) went to a pharmacy (Prima Health) in PJ SS2 to buy a stronger antibacterial eye drop - Tobramycin Dexamethasone. it contains steroid, so it should work faster...
a special thanks to my bf and his 5th year buddy for helping me :) i need not mention it here, but u guys should know what i mean :)
