Patient's question:
The child is now 7 months old, and the eyes have always been watery. The eyelashes at the inner corner of the eye always irritate the child.Treatment history and effectiveness: No specific treatment has been given.
Assistance needed: We want to ask the doctor if it's possible for our child to avoid surgery. How should we use erythromycin eye ointment? I am really worried that it might get worse in the future. I am a new mom and don’t know much. Thank you, doctor.
Doctor's answer:
The eyelashes always irritating the child's eyes need to be addressed fundamentally. Erythromycin eye ointment is only an anti-inflammatory ointment and cannot make the eyelashes that irritate the baby disappear, so you need to solve the problem at its root.Suggestions: Currently, the baby is still very young at 7 months. It is recommended that you go to the hospital and adopt an appropriate treatment plan under the guidance of professionals. There are methods that do not require surgery but can temporarily eliminate the issue of eyelashes irritating the child's eyes. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery!
