Patient's question:
Hello, expert, my daughter is three years old. A few days ago, I noticed that her lower eyelid was red, and her white eye had blood vessels. I then went to see a doctor, who diagnosed her with: conjunctivitis in both eyes, and refractive error in the left eye. The doctor prescribed Ruxu eye drops, saying there were no children's eye drops available. When I searched online, I found that Ruxu has significant toxic side effects for young children, so I did not use it. Could you please tell me how to treat conjunctivitis in young children, and are there any eye drops specifically for children? Additionally, what does refractive error mean, and how should it be treated? Should someone with this condition avoid eating fish? What else should I be aware of? Please provide a detailed explanation. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Besides taking medicine and injections, you can also consider using folk remedies for treatment, such as chrysanthemum Longjing tea. The method is simple—just place the chrysanthemum and Longjing tea leaves in a cup and pour boiling water over them. Let the tea cool before giving it to the baby to drink. It can be used as an auxiliary treatment for acute conjunctivitis.
