Bacterial pink eye - should I start eye drops just in case?

My DD has bacterial pink eye. They didn't do a culture but it fits the profile - it's green as opposed to yellow, it started in both eyes as opposed to one and then a few days later the other, it's sticky and gooey as opposed to watery etc... so, dr says it fits the profile for bacterial as opposed to viral. So, we started on abx eye drops last night. Youngest DD is better this morning.

My other DD woke up this morning with the exact same symptoms so I started her on the abx eye drops.

I'm wondering if I should just go ahead start myself on them knowing that the chances are pretty darn good that I'm going to get it as well?
