Is it harmful for you to use eye drops when you have a sinus infection?

If the eye drops are for moisturizing or rewetting with contact lenses it should be fine to use them while you recover from your sinus infection. If the drops contain medication, check with your pharmacist or the prescribing doctor to make sure the medication in the drops and the medication for your sinus infection can be used together.
If the tip of the eye drops bottle came in contact with your eye or tears, since your sinus infection started, call your doctor or pharmacist to see if they think the drops are contaminated and need to be replaced.

Dr didn't know if eye infection viral or bacterial He prescribed Ciloxam.Is that dangerous to use if it turns out to be a viral infection Also he prescribed a Z-pack for sinus infection Good combo?
The antibiotic will not harm you if it turns out it is not bacterial, but it won't do you any good either. In your case, it is probably very difficult to determine if it is viral or bacterial. For school aged kids (or even adults going to work), the school usually requires the child to have at least 24 hours of an antibiotic when diagnosed with conjunctivitis (pink eye) - whether it is bacterial or not. Z-pak (alone) is indicated for sinus infections that have become bacterial infections. Z-pak plus bacterial sinus infection is a good combo. Z-pak and your other antibiotic taken together will not make your sinus infection better quicker than the Z-pak alone. Ciloxan opthalmic ointment or drops will not interact with the Z-pak, either (not harmful taken together).

This is certainly not a breed-specific symptom. It sounds to me like a sinus or eye infection. I recommend visiting a vet to avoid further infection.
What if you only have pink eye in one eye do you just put drops in that eye or both eyes?
It's usually best to put the drops in both eyes. If you accidentally infect the other eye, which is very common, then using the drops in both eyes will prevent an infection in the other eye.
