Question
Every morning, my baby has a lot of dry eye mucus, making it hard for them to open their eyes. They were treated at the hospital before, using Tobradex, which was effective for the first week but then stopped working. The symptoms have been ongoing for a year. What could be the cause? Will it affect my child’s vision? I am in urgent need of assistance!
Answer
Active treatment is required. You can use some antibiotic eye drops. Long-term use is not beneficial for the entire eye. It is recommended that you go to the hospital’s ophthalmology department for a check-up. The doctor will give a thorough examination to determine what the problem is, whether there is any foreign object or inflammation, and how to treat it effectively. You can also try using Tobradex eye drops to put some drops in your baby’s eyes to see if it helps, and if it doesn’t, then go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital to see if it helps.
