Patient's question:
A newborn is only 6 days old and has discharge from the corners of their eyes, like eye boogers stuck on their eyes. Using saline to rinse didn't seem to help much. Can eye drops be used?Doctor's answer:
A six-day-old baby has eye discharge again at the corner of the eye, and 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 with discharge at the corner of the eye just 6 days old?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
