Patient's question:
Our baby has been three and a half months old since birth, and has been constantly having a lot of eye discharge. Many times, the discharge sticks to the child's eyes, making it difficult for them to open their eyes. We have consulted doctors and used some medications, but there has been no improvement. We also don't know the reason why?Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by conjunctivitis. Local use of antibiotic eye drops and steroid eye drops alternately is required, with erythromycin ointment applied at night. Oral antibiotics and other medications should also be taken. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and other irritating foods. Increase intake of vitamin-rich foods. Since there are multiple triggers for pediatric retinopathy, the cause must be identified before treatment to ensure effectiveness. Additionally, essential daily care measures are indispensable. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and consume vitamin-rich vegetables and fruits regularly.
