Question

What medications are commonly used for pediatric conjunctivitis?

Answer

For pediatric conjunctivitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory eye drops, such as acyclovir eye drops, and other pediatric-specific medications can be used. At the same time, attention should be paid to eye hygiene, with regular cleaning of the eyes and avoiding children from rubbing their eyes. In terms of diet, it is recommended to maintain a light diet and consume plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. If symptoms do not improve over a long period, it is advisable to seek consultation at a regular ophthalmology clinic for lacrimal sac cleaning.
