Question
My baby is 11 months old and has been sneezing, with a runny nose and constantly dribbling saliva. The eyes also look a bit red, watery. What medicine should I give? I gave him children’s amantadine yellow sensitive granules yesterday.
Answer
It might be conjunctivitis caused by bacterial or viral infection. Use physiological saline or pure water for cleaning, apply levofloxacin eye drops, or tobramycin eye drops, five to six times a day. Use a Erythromycin eye ointment once before taking a nap. In severe cases, oral azithromycin may be necessary. It is advised to consume less spicy food.
