Patient's question:
AgeDetailed medical condition and consultation purpose: The baby has a lot of dry eye discharge every morning, making it difficult to open the eyes. They have been treated in the hospital before and used Tobradex. It was effective in the first week but stopped working afterward. The symptoms have lasted for a year. What could be the reason? Will it affect the child's vision? Urgently seeking help!
Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is necessary to actively treat it. You can use some antibiotic eye drops. Long-term use is not good for the entire eye. I suggest you go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for an examination. The doctor will give a clear examination to determine what the problem is, whether there is a foreign body or an inflammatory issue, and how to treat it to get better. You can also use Tobradex eye drops to apply to the baby's eyes to see if it gets better. If it doesn't improve, you can then go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for a check-up.
