Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please explain what's happening when a child has a cold and then develops photophobia and red, swollen eyes?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible, as this should be inflammation. It is suggested that you alternate between using acyclovir eye drops and ciprofloxacin eye drops, every 2 hours. The washcloth must be boiled for 2-3 times daily and should be used separately to prevent repeated infections. Do not rub your eyes frequently with your hands, and do not use toilet paper to wipe your eyes. In your case, you can first use alcohol to bathe to reduce fever, and then identify the cause of the fever. There are many reasons for fever, the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, etc. Don't rush to take medication.
