Question
What should I do if my newborn has eye discharge on the third day of birth?
Answer
Eye discharge in newborns can be a sign of an inflammatory reaction caused by conjunctivitis. Treatment with levofloxacin eye drops and lomefloxacin ointment is usually effective, often quickly. Please follow the doctor’s instructions when using medication, and apply a warm compress to the eyes. Ensure adequate rest and deep sleep, reduce the use of mobile phones and computers, and develop good habits. I hope these suggestions help you, and wish your baby good health!
