Should I Be Concerned If Infant's White Eyes Get Red On Falling From Head Always?

Hi, My son is one and a half years old. He falls on his head very often atleast once a day. However, I have been noticing from last ten days that when ever he falls the white of his eye gets red. Is it ok or I should consult a doctor? I put ciplox once or twice in his eye which fades the redness

Hello dear
Thanks for your query at hcm
I understand your concern.

Conjunctiva getting red after trauma in child of that age is very concerning symptoms. Ciplox eye drops is for infection in the eye not for decreasing redness due to trauma. My recommendation would be consult pediatrician for further management without any delay.
Hope I answered your query.
Regards.
