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-grade fever and excessive eye discharge?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms of the baby are indicative of acute conjunctivitis. This requires prompt medical attention at the ophthalmology department of the hospital.1. The treatment method includes applying rifampicin eye drops externally, while also taking azithromycin or cefuroxime axetil orally for treatment.
Wishing the baby a speedy recovery. If it is confirmed to be pneumonia, intravenous administration of penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics will be necessary for treatment.
