Patient's question:
Before New Year's, the child rubbed his eyes and went to the ophthalmology department of the hospital. He was diagnosed with conjunctivitis and prescribed ofloxacin eye drops. After using them for a period of time, his eyes recovered. Recently, his eyes started twitching again. Yesterday, he went to the pediatric department of the hospital. The doctor asked about the situation (umbilical cord, cesarean birth, eye twitching, occasional clearing of the throat). Without conducting an eye examination, the doctor tested for trace elements (normal) and directly diagnosed the child with Tourette syndrome, prescribing medication. Today, we are not reassured, so we took the child to two other ophthalmology departments in different hospitals. The diagnoses were all conjunctivitis, and they said it didn't resemble Tourette syndrome.Doctor's answer:
Hello, conjunctivitis is a general term for inflammatory reactions that occur in the conjunctival tissues due to external and internal factors. Antibiotic ointments or eye drops can usually be used to treat bacterial infections, and symptoms typically disappear within one week of starting treatment. Severe bacterial infections require oral antibiotic medications or antibiotic injections, such as corticosteroids.We know that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has a significant impact on children. If it is not treated in a timely manner or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression can be rapid, causing great harm to the patient. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and seek timely medical treatment.
