What Causes Rashes Over The Body After Using Eye Drops?
Our son has an eye infection. Secreting green fluid from eyes...We were prescribed Fucithalmic Viscous eye drops, 1 drop in each eye for 5 days applied at bedtime. This is day 4, we have noticed blotshiness of a rash or hive-like symptons on his body (arms, legs, back and possibly started on his face). Wondering if this could be an allergic reaction?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction. I suggest to stop using the eye drops. I also suggest using an antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily. I also suggest using a steroid cream for local application.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
