Patient's question:
The baby has a white spot in the middle of their eye that isn't very coordinated. After a thorough check, it was initially diagnosed as keratitis, and they were given levofloxacin eye drops. Now, the white spot has shrunk by about two weeks, but the baby still has photophobia and often says their eye feels gritty (though they might not be expressing it very well). The examination was conducted at the Second People's Hospital.Previous Treatment and Effect:
The doctor prescribed levofloxacin eye drops, which have been used consistently. The white spot in the middle of the eye has now shrunk.
Desired Help:
I'm unsure whether to continue using the eye drops or switch to a different one. The baby keeps rubbing their eye with the drops. Is this symptom indicative of keratitis?
Doctor's answer:
The condition of your child is keratitis. Recommendations: Ofloxacin is effective, but if the medication is used for less than a week, it may be necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to determine whether it is necessary to continue the medication or change it.The above advice is for the question "The baby's eye has a white spot in the middle and is not very cooperative with the initial examination." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
