Go to the pharmacy and ask for Teramycin eye drops. if they don't have it any other antibiotic eye drops (without steroids) will do. if i'm not mistaking those eye drops are sold over the counter in India. you will need to apply the eye ointment or eye drop 4 times a day until the eye infection resolves.
