Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
You need to use drops and ointment containing Tobramycin for treating your stye.
Tobramycin is poorly excreted into breastmilk. Maternal use of an ear drop or eye drop that contains tobramycin presents little or no risk for the nursing infant.
Kindly use the eye drops 3 times a day and apply ointment along the inner side of eyelid at bedtime.
Also, take hot water fomentation twice or thrice daily along with.
Hope the information provided helps.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
