Question

What are the causes of red, swollen eyes in children after a cold?

Answer

It is advisable to see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible, as this may be caused by inflammation. It is recommended to alternate between using Acyclovir eye drops and Floxacin eye drops, applying them every two hours. Additionally, it is important to sterilize face towels by boiling them twice or thrice a day and to use them individually to prevent recurrent infections. Do not rub your eyes with your hands or wipe them with toilet paper. Before determining the cause of fever, you can use alcohol for a bath to reduce fever, as there are many possible causes of fever, including infection, connective tissue disease, malignant tumors, and more. Do not rush to take medication before the cause is confirmed.
