Question
My baby is over two weeks old and has conjunctivitis. Can traditional Chinese medicine cure it?
Answer
Treatment for conjunctivitis includes traditional Chinese medicine for clear heat and detoxify (clearing heat and detoxifying) and Western medicine options such as cold compresses and anti-inflammatory medication. For smaller cases of conjunctivitis, traditional Chinese medicine may be suitable; however, larger cases may require surgical removal to avoid risks of astigmatism and purulent infection.
