Patient's question:
After my child started attending kindergarten, they suddenly felt their eyes were sore and kept blinking. It has been about half a year. They don't look at their phone or TV, which can slightly relieve the symptoms, but they still blink occasionally. Can Tobramycin be used?Doctor's answer:
The child keeps blinking, which may be due to conditions such as conjunctivitis, trachoma, or ingrown eyelashes. First, it is important to identify the specific cause. If conjunctivitis is indeed present, Tobradex anti-inflammatory treatment can be considered. Pay attention to hygiene and avoid rubbing the eyes with your hands. Generally, Tobramycin eye drops are suitable for local infections of the external eye and its organs caused by sensitive bacteria. Allergic reactions are rare, but occasional local irritation symptoms may occur. Be careful not to rub your eyes and maintain a light diet. Reduce screen time, including TV and smartphones.
