Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Is it normal for a one-year-old baby to have low fever and a lot of eye discharge?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms of the baby are manifestations of acute conjunctivitis. This requires prompt medical attention at the ophthalmology department of the hospital.1. Treatment methods include the use of topical rifampicin eye drops, along with oral azithromycin or cefuroxime axetil for treatment.
Wishing the baby a speedy recovery. If it is confirmed to be pneumonia, intravenous administration of penicillin or cephalosporin-class antibiotics will be necessary.
