Suggest Remedy For Eye Infection

Possible hook worm eye infection? My dog has had a dry cough for over 4 weeks. I had assumed it was kennel cough, but because it hasn t cleared I went online to see what else might cause this cough. Hook worm infection came up and also the fact that this poses danger of eye infections in young children. This caught my eye, because I am developing some kind of eye infection and was planning on trying to get into a doctor tomorrow. Could I have a hookworm?

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having eye infection. This type of infection is not caused by hook worm, hence no need to worry. This requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
