Patient's question:
My daughter is two years old. This morning when she woke up, I noticed her left eye was quite red and had a lot of eye discharge, some yellow and some white. The under-eye area was also slightly swollen. Her right eye had some discharge but no redness. What could be the reason? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello. It's a pleasure to assist you: This is an eye inflammation. Swelling of the eye bags due to inflammation is usually caused by a bacterial infection. It is recommended to use ciprofloxacin eye drops or norfloxacin eye drops for treatment. It is advisable to use separate hygiene products. Educate the child not to rub their eyes. If the symptoms do not improve after using the above eye drops, it is recommended to seek medical attention and consult a local ophthalmologist for diagnosis and treatment. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
