Patient's question:
A newborn is only 6 days old, and there is discharge from the corner of their eyes, like eye boogers stuck on their eyes. Using saline solution to rinse didn't seem to help much. Can eye drops be used?Doctor's answer:
A newborn baby who is six days old has eye discharge again at the corner of the eye. It is suspected that the baby may have conjunctivitis. It is recommended to use anti-inflammatory eye drops for the baby, applying them to both eyes multiple times a day. Tobradex is an anti-inflammatory eye drop that can be used. The above advice is for the question "Can eye drops be used for a newborn who has discharge at the corner of the eye just 6 days after birth?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
