Patient's question:
My child has recently been diagnosed with conjunctivitis. However, the hospital we go to usually only prescribes many adult medications for children. I feel that my child is indeed too young, and adult medications are generally not very suitable for children. So, I would like to ask what medications are used for pediatric conjunctivitis?Doctor's answer:
If a child is diagnosed with conjunctivitis, they can use anti-inflammatory, antibacterial eye drops, such as acyclovir eye drops, which are suitable for children. Then, it is important to pay attention to the child's eye hygiene and can use more eye wipes. Prevent the child from rubbing their eyes with their hands. In these days, the diet should be light, and eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits. If the condition does not fully recover in the long term, it is recommended to visit a regular ophthalmology department for lacrimal sac irrigation.
