I had a road accident 15 days ago, resulting in cuts on my face and a red eye. I am currently using Gatifloxacin eye drops, Nepafenac eye drops, and Moxifloxacin eye ointment. Are these the right medications, and what medicine should I use to treat the cuts on my face?

Yes, your eye medications are appropriate. Gatifloxacin and Moxifloxacin are strong antibiotics to prevent infection, while Nepafenac reduces redness and inflammation. Ensure an eye specialist has evaluated your eye to rule out internal damage. For your 15-day-old facial cuts: if they are closed and healing, keep them clean with mild soap and apply petroleum jelly (Vaseline) or silicone gel to minimise scarring. If the cuts are still open, red, painful, or leaking fluid, apply an antibiotic ointment like Mupirocin and consult a doctor. Please have a healthcare provider physically evaluate your face and eyes to ensure proper healing.
