Question
My child is now 7 and a half months old, and their eyes are always watery, with the eyelashes in the inner corner constantly irritating their eyes. Previous treatment and results: No treatment. Desired assistance: I would like to ask the doctor if non-surgical treatment can be used, and how to correctly use erythromycin ointment. As a new mother, I am very worried about this and fear that the condition may worsen, as well as having insufficient knowledge on the subject, so I very much need the doctor’s help.
Answer
The problem of eyelashes irritating the child’s eyes needs to be solved fundamentally, and erythromycin ointment can only relieve inflammation but cannot solve the problem of eyelashes irritating the eyes. Since the child is still quite young, it is recommended that you take your child to the hospital to seek appropriate treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor. Although there are non-surgical methods that can temporarily solve the problem of eyelashes irritating the eyes, it is still advisable to undergo treatment under a doctor’s guidance to ensure the child’s health. May your child recover soon!
