The day before yesterday, the baby got a cut on the corner of his eye. Is it okay?

Patient's question:

The day before yesterday, the baby got a cut on the corner of their eye, and then alcohol was used for sterilization. Yesterday, there wasn't much swelling, but today it's a bit red and more swollen than yesterday. Why is it more swollen today? I just gave the baby Azithromycin.

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description and the child's photo materials, it is considered that an eye injury has occurred again, with skin corrosion. It is necessary to promptly provide debridement and sterilization treatment. After conducting an eye examination, the possibility of a globe injury can be ruled out. Additionally, timely administration of tetanus vaccine and anesthesia is recommended, followed by scar treatment later on. The above advice is for the issue of "the baby getting a cut on the corner of the eye the day before yesterday." It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
