Healing time varies. The ulcer (a scratch or hole in the cornea) can close in less than 24 hours, or it can take much longer as Diana wrote that it took for her boy. Max had one that took almost 2 weeks and he almost ended up having a surgery to repair it/aid recovery. Miraculously, the ulcer healed the night before surgery.
Give the meds for the prescribed length of time and follow up with your vet. I would also hold off on bathing his head for as long as you can. With Max, I believe part of why he had some ongoing problems is that I was too quick to give him a bath when I thought he was healed. The good news is that despite all he went through, his eyes are perfect. Hoping the same for your little guy.
