Question: Hello Doctor
My daughter (9yrs old) had swelling in one eye for a few days, we gave some Citrazine (5ml) (once) and she felt better the next day, but after that she has been rubbing her eyes frequently and the cornia is turning red, now both her eyes have the same effect, i'm attaching pictures for your reference. We have not given her any other medication yet. Please advice.
