Suggest Treatment For Redness And Irritation In Eyes
Question: Hello Doctor,
My son is 8 years old and since 3 weeks his eye has been slightly red on and off. The complete eye is not red, but the portion towards the nose and forehead joint. I took him to a General physician 12 days back who said that usually during October time frame people do have itchy eyes and he prescribed an eye drop "Toba" saying that it will cure within a week. However, my son still continues to have the redness of the eye.
Please advise.
Regards,
XXXX
