Is Fucithalmic Eye Drops Safe To Use In A Toddler?
Question: Fucithalmic eye drops are safe for 15 month old baby
Brief Answer:
They are safe but not first line of treatment for most eye infections
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but don't worry. This is safe in toddlers. But we recommend moxifloxacin or tobramycin eye drops as first line therapy for eye infections in this age group.
If your child is suffering from conjunctivitis, I would recommend you to visit an ophthalmologist for clinical evaluation and definitive therapy.
Hopefully this will be of help.
Take care
