Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello,

Kindly tell me whether the swelling is only on the same eye or in both eyes. Its bacterial conjunctivitis. Start tobramycin drops, two drops three times a day for five days. And tobramycin ointment applies only at night for five days.

Wipe the eyes with 0.9% saline-soaked cotton from medial to lateral end, before putting drops in eyes with washed hands every time (not to forget, don't touch the hands with which you have washed, the other eye). If the swelling persists even after the discharge is over, kindly get a urine routine examination of the baby and send me the report.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Musfirah Tahir
