No you can't use ear drops for eye gtts. What are you asking about what would we do.
If someone used them as eye drops by accident for pink eye would it hurt them or should they go to doctor?
Their eye should be rinsed out with water. The reason you shouldn't use them mostly is because they might not be sterile. I'd watch them closely and if they eye looks like its worse, take them to a dr. However if the infection isn't cleared up they need to see a dr anyway for the right drops.
Rinsed out with water 4 times and used the ice breaker eye drops. To try and clear it up. Thank you.
