Question
After more than twenty days of birth, a newborn is found to have conjunctivitis. Parents inquire about the safety and effectiveness of using Tobramycin Dexamethasone Eye Drops, as well as whether there are other suitable medication options.
Answer
Medical staff recommend using non-irritating eye drops for rinsing and provide several alternative medications, including Tobramycin, Ciprofloxacin, Ofloxacin eye drops or ointments. In special circumstances, synthetic antibiotic eye drops can be used. For viral conjunctivitis, medications such as Acyclovir, Iodine (Herpes Clean), or Mopholine diphosphate can be used for treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to eye hygiene, avoiding touching the eyes with hands or unclean objects.
