Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Cefdinir Cause Conjunctivitis To A 2 Year Old?
My 2 1/2 year old son is being treated with Cefdinir for a double ear infection. He started the antibiotic Sunday afternoon and woke up this morning with red, watery, gooey eyes. Can Cefdinir cause conjunctivitis? If so, does he need a separate medication to treat it?
Hello. I just read through your question. Red, watery, gooey eyes is not one of the known side effects of Cefdinir. It is unlikely that the Cefdinir caused this. However, in any case the eyes should be examined and, if necessary, treated. I recommend consulting with your doctor so the correct diagnosis can be made and the appropriate treatment plan implemented.
