Can I Use 'ciplox' Eye Drops For My Child For Eye Discharge?

my 2 month old son has white discharge from his eyes since birth. Doc said that its because tear ducts are not yet open and asked me to squeeze my milk into the eyes. But the discharge has not stopped and the baby is finding it irritable. The skin has become redish at the corners of the eyes. Another doc says that baby has infection and has given ciplox drops and now novamox drops. Is it safe to use and upto how many days these medicines can be used?

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.

Eye problems and conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
