Also there is mild fever in the morning, Its been 5 days now, Doctor advised to give Wikoryl drops 3 times a day, given these drops yesterday and today twice but its not showing any positive result. Should I wait or need to give some other medicine

Hi,
welcome to HCM,
I understand your concern. This seems to be due to infection in your infants eyes and wikoryl might not be of great help here. You need to clear the eyes with clean cotton and saline as and when needed. You will also have to start antibiotic drops for the eyes. Consult an ophthalmologist .
take care.
